South Dakota Community Foundation (SDCF) Grant Sources Quick List
South Dakota Fund Grants: The South Dakota Fund is an unrestricted fund that makes grants in support of economic development, human services, health, education, and cultural programs.
Community Innovation Grants: In partnership with the Bush Foundation, these are more selective grants that focus on specifically supporting community problem-solving projects.
Community Savings Accounts across SD: SDCF partners with local communities to provide them with a community savings account (CSA). CSAs allow a community to invest and grow their endowment with the help of SDCF, but they still retain leadership over the administration of funds.
