Learn about the CSA in Jones County, SD.
Founded in 1997 Giving Back to Jones County
The First Fidelity Bank/Jones County Community Foundation was established in 1995 by the John and Tom Lillibridge families to encourage philanthropy in the Jones County community. They offered each community in which a First Fidelity Bank was located a challenge grant in the amount of $50,000 on a matching dollar for dollar basis and the challenge was met in a short time. Today through the efforts of many generous donors, the Community Savings Account (CSA) has a balance of over $500,000 and nearly $300,000 in local grants have been awarded to the Jones County community. The local CSA operates under the guidelines of South Dakota Community Foundation however all grant applications are reviewed and distribution requests are made board a local advisory council.
