GROW South Dakota Foundation

With the help of friends like you, GROW South Dakota has been successful in expanding housing, community, and economic development across South Dakota. If you donate to the GROW South Dakota Foundation, your donations will be placed in a permanent endowment and the revenue generated comes back to the agency annually. This allows your donations to support our programs and services in the future. Donations may also be made in memory of a loved one or in honor of a special occasion.

We have partnered with Goodshop.com and Amazon Smile to help you save money when you shop online and donate a portion of your purchase to GROW SD. So when you shop at thousands of your favorites stores you will be saving money and supporting our mission to providing innovative advancement of housing, community, and economic opportunities throughout South Dakota.

A Half-Century of Serving South Dakotans

In 1978, NESDCAP created the Northeast South Dakota Economic Corporation (NESDEC) as a revolving loan fund to focus on small business lending and job creation in 22 counties. In 2007, Grow South Dakota, was formed to provide housing, community and economic development statewide. Through services to individuals, technical assistance to community and economic development agencies, and loans to small businesses and homebuyers, GROW South Dakota has had broad and lasting impact.
