New Grant Portal Coming in 2025!
August 5, 2024 // Grants
SDCF is pleased to announce we will be moving to a new online grant application portal in 2025. Same company, different platform. To assist with this transition, we will temporarily stop accepting Letters of Inquiry to the South Dakota Fund grant program and Nonprofit Savings Account applications on September 30th. Nonprofits seeking program and project related funding, with demonstrated community support, are encouraged to submit a Letter of Inquiry to the South Dakota Fund or Nonprofit Savings Account application before September 30th.
SDCF will share more about the new application portal as the transition progresses.
