Spearfish Community Foundation

Spearfish Community Foundation launched the Impacting Tomorrow Together campaign in December 2021. Funds raised through Impacting Tomorrow Together will leverage collective resources to fund “charitable-purpose” projects/programs that make a large community impact and address community needs. Grants to 501(C)3 nonprofit and charitable organizations for these community betterment projects/programs will focus on, but not be limited to:

• Health & Human Services
• Senior Citizens
• Recreation
• Community Beautification
• Arts & Culture
• Public Safety

The City of Spearfish is also collaborating with the Spearfish Community Foundation to raise funds for the Impacting Tomorrow Together campaign. Starting January 2022, the City of Spearfish offers residents a unique opportunity to donate to the Spearfish Community Foundation through their monthly utility bill. Tax deductible monthly donations or a one-time gift will benefit local non-profit programs/projects that promote the social and economic well-being of the people living the Spearfish area. Residents may sign up for this convenient monthly or a one-time donation process through the city’s utility bill by completely the form on the City of Spearfish’s website www.cityofspearfish.com .
