South Dakota Community Foundation

At the South Dakota Community Foundation (SDCF) we care about one thing - South Dakota. In particular, we care about the people and future of our state. For over twenty years we have been working for South Dakotans by supporting and encouraging philanthropy.

Connecting Donors and Charities for a stronger South Dakota

SDCF is a non-profit organization which administers a $135 million dollar endowment fund, made up of private gifts from individuals, families and businesses.

We serve two groups in our quest to make South Dakota a better place.

• Donors: We help make the charitable giving process easier and more effective by setting up funds and managing charitable gifts.
• Non-profits: Our partnerships with charitable organizations allow us to meet the needs of South Dakotans today and ensure their success in the future.

The mission of the South Dakota Community Foundation is…

• To promote philanthropy
• Receive and administer charitable gifts
• Invest in a wide range of programs promoting the social and economic well-being of the people of South Dakota
