The future success of South Dakota depends on our development of homegrown leaders; passionate and diverse citizens from every corner of the state.

In March 2020, Patrick Gallagher joined the South Dakota Community Foundation (SDCF) as Community Development Coordinator for the northeast region of the state. Based in Aberdeen, he looks forward to working with donors, communities, nonprofits, and financial advisors in understanding how the SDCF is making lives better in South Dakota, today and for future generations.​

Congratulations to Jamie Farmen, SDCF Community Development Coordinator, on her selection for membership to the 2019 - 2020 Leadership Pierre program!

Welcome to the newest member of our team, Shelly Jund! Shelly joined us just a few weeks ago as the Foundation's Executive Assistant. 

The mission of the South Dakota Community Foundation is: “To bring philanthropy to life for a stronger South Dakota.”  Are you someone who knows how to “do things right” and “do the right thing” to forward this mission?  If so, the South Dakota Community Foundation might be a fit for you. 

The Foundation seeks a motivated person to expand its team of seasoned professionals who partner with donors to meet individual and collective philanthropic goals.  This position also supports organizations who are seeking grant funds to meet the charitable needs of the people of South Dakota through well-defined compliance and outcomes practices. 

The SDCF is celebrating Kelly Nelson's 15 years of service.
