First Fidelity Bank & Bonesteel Community Foundation

Founded in Giving Back to Bonesteel

Welcome to the First Fidelity Bank & Bonesteel Community Foundation website. Even though we are an agent of the South Dakota Community Foundation, we are able to accept and administer charitable gifts, give good grants to our local nonprofit groups and organizations, and also give scholarships to hopeful young people from our region. Our volunteer board members work hard to ensure funds are going to groups and organizations that need it most.

Money Raised Here, Stays Here

A Community Savings Account (CSA) offers you an opportunity to give a perpetual gift to the community of Bonesteel. The fund is invested by the SDCF and 4.5% of the average value is available to give back to nonprofits each year. As the fund grows, so does our ability to make a local impact. Our advisory council members give grants to support basic needs and enhance the quality of life within and around Bonesteel.
