Life-Saving Partnerships with Spearfish Community Foundation
Since 1998, the Spearfish Community Foundation (SCF) has been enhancing lives across northwestern South Dakota through its community savings account (CSA) endowment. Established in partnership with South Dakota Community Foundation (SDCF), this fund has invested over $1 million into the Spearfish area. In 2021, SCF launched the “Impacting Tomorrow Today” initiative, aimed at driving higher-impact projects that address key community needs.
Sue Konstant, SCF President, and Beth Massa, Director of Foundation Relations at SDCF, sat down for a conversation about how SCF works to support the Spearfish community through engaging partnerships. One project has brought the community together to save lives–the Public Access AED Community Project.
In this episode, you will hear:
- How SCF has partnered with the City of Spearfish on large-scale projects
- How the Public Access AED Community Project is helping save lives
- How you can become involved in supporting projects like this
“We could not have done this without community support,” reflected Sue, “It’s truly humbling, and without the City of Spearfish, our donors, strategic partners and sponsors, we wouldn’t have gained momentum to see this life-saving project come to fruition.”
