Founded in 1997 Giving Back to Alcester
The Alcester Community Foundation was founded in 1997 when South Dakota communities were offered a challenge by the Northwest Area Foundation in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The community of Alcester, and a volunteer group of leaders, applied for the challenge and was chosen as one of twelve communities in South Dakota to begin building a sustainable asset in an endowment fund for their community, or a Community Savings Account.
Today, this fund has given back over $1.1 million to the people of Alcester and continues to grow. Money raised here, stays here. Always.
Grants
The Alcester Community Foundation awards grants to non-profit and charitable organizations in our city and its neighboring communities to support economic development, human services, health, education, and cultural programs.
