Capital Area United Way Reaches Major Milestone

Uniting Communities Across Central South Dakota

Capital Area United Way (CAUW) connects people and resources to tackle challenges across eight central South Dakota counties. Focused on education, financial stability and health, CAUW empowers nonprofits and strengthens communities. In 2024, CAUW took on SDCF’s Nonprofit Savings Account (NSA) challenge: raise $80,000 to receive a $20,000 match. Boosted by their partnership with the Let Freedom Fly International Air Show in May, CAUW met their goal by December and unlocked the full match.

Envisioning Long-Term Impact

Four organizations are currently in NSA challenges: Casey Tibbs South Dakota Rodeo Center, Diamond Willow Ministries, Lost&Found and Salvation Army – Western Division.
