A Foundation for Progress
Roots are unsung heroes.
They run deep.
They give us strength.
But they’re rarely seen and seldom celebrated. The South Dakota
Community Foundation plays a significant part in helping the state grow.
We have a long history of helping out our neighbors – we’ve worked
to simplify and maximize South Dakotans’ contributions since 1987.
Investments made with us deepen the roots within our communities – donors
receive the maximum tax benefit, and they’re rewarded with the knowledge
that their gifts will be lasting and effective.
Our mission is to share our resources to help donors and nonprofit
organizations in our state get the most out of their efforts.
To help South Dakotans. Because that’s who we are.

Leadership Report
“Civilization flourishes when people plant
trees under which they will never sit.”
— Greek Proverb
A tree stands in the front yard of my family farm. Growing up, I could look over
the top of that oak tree from the picture window and see for miles. Today, that
tree towers over the farm house. Its branches spreading out over the yard. It has
survived blistering heat, gusting winds, early frosts and even a lightning strike.
I can sit under that tree today, enjoying its shade, because since it was planted
that tree has been quietly spreading it roots. Its strong root system has kept it
steadfast and will ensure it thrives for decades to come.
Leaders who believed in providing for South Dakota’s future planted
a seedling of their own when they established the South Dakota
Community Foundation (SDCF). Throughout the last twenty-eight
years, generous donors like you have nurtured and cared for that little
tree. With your support, the tree has grown, its roots have spread and
every day, South Dakotans are benefiting from all it provides.
The benefits of its shade are stretching to cover more South Dakotans each
year. For instance, the SDCF expanded giving options for donors by launching
Growing for Good, our land management program. This program allows
farm and ranch land to stay in production and provide a legacy of support
for generations to come. The Growing for Good program complements
our existing giving options which include both cash and noncash gifts.
The SDCF’s grantmaking strategies have branched out to strengthen
nonprofit organizations. In 2015, we established the Nonprofit Savings
Account (NSA) program to help organizations develop a broader base of
support and build endowed assets to help fund their missions, now and
long into the future. We also began a partnership with the Grantmakers in
Aging organization to provide grants aimed at keeping older, rural South
Dakotans in their homes. Along with our South Dakota Fund Grants and
the Community Innovation Grant partnership with the Bush Foundation,
we have expanded the grantmaking opportunities across the state.
Thank you for being a part of this stewardship effort. We appreciate your
investment in nonprofit causes. Your generosity enriches the soil and allows us
to continue spreading our roots. As a result, our organization stands strong and
promises to shade not only us, but also our children and grandchildren, who will
plant trees of their own.

Leadership Report
Jim Hart
Board Chairman
Our History
The South Dakota
Community Foundation
(SDCF) was created as a
public, nonprofit corporation
on November 11, 1987, as
part of the late Governor
George S. Mickelson’s
vision for South Dakota’s
second century.
To establish the SDCF, the
McKnight Foundation and
3M Corporation issued a $5
million challenge grant to
the state of South Dakota.
The grant memorialized the
life of South Dakota native
William L. McKnight, a former
CEO of the 3M Corporation
and founder of the McKnight
Foundation. The state of
South Dakota committed $2
million, and within twelve
months, SDCF leadership
raised the additional $3
million from private donors
to fulfill the challenge grant.
Today, the SDCF, a public,
nonprofit organization, holds
approximately $219 million
in total assets and manages
760 endowed funds. The
earning from those funds
support charitable needs
and causes throughout the
state. With the continued
generosity of South Dakotans
and solid investment returns,
the SDCF will continue to
serve individuals, families and
communities across the state
for generations to come.
Investing in South Dakota’s Future
The South Dakota Community Foundation’s Objective
The aim of the South Dakota Community Foundation (SDCF) is to make giving back simple and
effective by providing trustworthy guidance and investment management to South Dakotans
who want to benefit communities and charitable organizations.
How the giving process works:
Where your donations can go:
When you establish a fund at the SDCF, the
principal of your charitable donation is invested.
Each year, a percentage of your fund’s value
is made available for distribution through
grants to charitable causes. As investment
returns accumulate, the fund can continue to
impact South Dakotans forever. We put the
power of endowment to work for good.
We work with you, your family and/or your financial
advisor to make giving to causes you care about a
seamless process. We offer a variety of fund types
to meet your charitable goals. For example, you
can designate specific charitable organizations,
set up a scholarship for local students, support
your local community savings account or make a
broad impact on culture, economic development,
education, health and human services.
What you can give:
Who we serve in addition to donors:
You can donate a variety of assets
to benefit others. We accept:
Nonprofit Organizations: In 2015, nonprofits received
more than $860,000 from the SDCF through the
South Dakota Fund and Community Innovation
grant programs. In addition, more than $11 million is
distributed to nonprofits through the funds the SDCF
manages for donors. The SDCF also offers agency
endowment funds and Nonprofit Savings Accounts to
help nonprofits create long-term funding sources.
Cash Gifts
Cash, Check or Credit Card
Non-Cash Gifts
Stocks & Bonds, Land, Commodities
and Personal Property
Planned Gifts
Bequests, Life Insurance, Charitable
Trusts and Gift Annuities
Communities: The SDCF has a fund type tailored
specifically for communities called Community Savings
Accounts (CSA). A CSA will help support basic needs
and enhance the quality of life within a community
through grant awards to local organizations for years
to come. Today, there are 72 CSAs across the state.
Advisors: We partner with professional
advisors to help clients accomplish their
charitable wishes through estate planning.

fundraising $80,000 in endowed funds from donors. The grand total
of $100,000 is added to a designated fund at the SDCF and provides

The program also removes administrative burdens from nonprofits. The

A Nonprofit Savings Account Grant at Work
The Sioux YMCA in Dupree provides a fun,
safe and supportive environment for youth.
Teen Challenge of the Dakotas (TCD), one of our NSA partners, believes
a person with life-controlling problems can change, IF that person wants
to change. TCD offers a residential program for adult males over 18 years
of age. The 16-month program assists men in overcoming addiction
and transitioning back into the “real” world. After 50 years of helping
drug and criminal offenders, Teen Challenge has earned a reputation
as one of America’s most successful rehabilitation programs.
Over the past five years, TCD significantly enhanced its infrastructure
and capacity through the construction of its new campus and the
renovation of its former facility. Upon successful completion of the
NSA Challenge Grant, the TCD endowment will extend these efforts
to ensure maximum mission impact now and into the future.
The South Dakota Humanities Council supports
the Young Readers Initiative, which puts high
quality books in the hands of elementary students
and brings them face-to-face with authors
at the Young Readers Festival of Books.
Reverend Mike Gilmartin, a past graduate and executive director of TCD,
understands the importance of an endowment in continuing to provide quality
programming to men from communities throughout the region. Key donors have
already expressed interest in helping Mike and TCD build an endowment, so
he is thankful for the encouragement from the SDCF to solicit endowed gifts.
“Working with the staff at the South Dakota Community Foundation has
been absolutely great. Since I walked into the SDCF offices, out of the blue, a
number of years ago; they have done nothing except encourage and help to
empower myself and TCD for success. I am truly grateful for the relationship.”

greater good. We talk about trying to help the less
fortunate, trying to make the world a better place.”
An Expanding Vision
Harry Knapp was another early believer in the CSA
concept in Day County. He challenged community
leaders to establish the Day County Community
Foundation with an anonymous matching gift.
Harry and his wife Denice were also the first Day County
residents to start a SDCF donor advised fund. Their family
fund began by giving grants to students attending the
SDSU College of Engineering. Then, the Knapps realized
their impact could be greater than just one school.
“The more involved you get, the more needs you will find
you can partially or wholly meet through grants,” said
Denice. “We had decided that we wanted to include
other causes within the communities of Day County.”
(Top left) Harry and Denice Knapp established a fund with the Day County Community Foundation to impact the area for years to come. (Bottom left)

Foundation committed $100,000 to the effort over 20 years. (Bottom right) Through the generous support of donors in the area, the Day County
Community Foundation has awarded $155,000 to area nonprofits over the last 14 years. The group will continue to build a bright future for the county

DONOR SPOTLIGHT
Donors in Day County Shine Bright
Individuals Come Together to Benefit All
Shortly after Tom Sannes moved back to Webster in
2001 to start a career as an attorney, he was invited to
a meeting with Bernie Christenson, the SDCF president
at the time, and area leaders to discuss the possibility
of starting a Community Savings Account (CSA). At
the meeting, when Tom heard the SDCF would offer a
$25,000 grant if the community could raise $75,000, he
was the first to speak: “Hey, that’s a no brainer. Let’s do it!”
Little did he know, that proclamation and the creation
of the CSA would propel him, and the communities
of Day County, into the start of something great.
A Homegrown Volunteer
Born and raised in Webster, Tom Sannes graduated
from Webster High School in 1989. Service
was a key part of his life, whether as a member
of the Boy Scouts or a legislative page.

D O N O R S | Donors in Day County Shine Bright
“Public service just fits for me. I can’t say when I
came up with that idea, but it’s just something I
firmly believe in. A service-minded attitude for the
greater good. That’s my philosophy,” said Tom.
Tom is associated with most of the service groups
and nonprofit organizations in and around Webster.
In addition to being the president of the Day County
Community Foundation, he is a member of the
Webster Alumni Association, vice president of the
Webster Area Development Corporation and president
of the United Methodist Church in Webster. He was
also chairman of the Webster Aquatic Venture for
Excellence and was selected as the 2014 Citizen of the
Year by the Webster Area Chamber of Commerce.
“Every time I sit down to chat with a client about
their estate plan, or a board of directors about the
future of the group, we talk about ideas that are
more than just the law,” said Tom. “We talk about the
“We started our giving focused on one area, and then
expanded what we do,” added Harry. “It was nice to have
that flexibility.”
They expanded their focus by partnering with the Day
County Community Foundation. This partnership allows
them to make grant recommendations during their
lifetimes. Upon their passing, their daughters, followed
by their grandchildren, will make grant recommendations.
Then, the Day County Community Foundation’s local
board of directors will take over administration of the fund.
“We appreciate the fact that investment management
and administrative tasks are handled by the
SDCF. We can focus on the needs that exist
and causes we care about,” Harry said.
A Plan for Giving
As time went on, Tom Sannes recognized that the
desire of donors like the Knapps to give back to Day
County communities through subfunds would not only
meet the needs of donors, but also create future assets
for the county’s nonprofit projects and programs.
“The first part is to determine if an individual has the
interest in leaving something to charity,” said Tom. “Once
they decide they want to do so, they are then looking
for a vehicle. That’s where the SDCF comes into play.”
Tom acknowledges that many people know what they
would like their money to do, but need to be given
some direction about the available giving vehicles.
For example, when Tom sat down with Gerald Sletten
to discuss his estate plan, Tom found a very savvy
individual with big ideas for his hometown. Gerald
wanted his money to be available long after he
was gone, so a partnership with the Day County
Community Foundation made sense for Gerald.
Won over by the low cost of administration and
the long-term outlook, Gerald started the Gerald
M. and Mary Sletten Fund through an estate gift.
The fund is now dedicated to giving grants to the
Bristol area at the recommendation of the Day
County Community Foundation board of directors.
“The low 1% administration fee is a huge selling
point for many people I talk to,” said Tom. “The staff
and board at the SDCF are also a big factor. They
lend a lot of credibility and trust to the organization.
And finally, the success of funds already held with
the SDCF and diversity of partnership options
that exist really makes a difference. People can
make a connection with so many of the funds
held there, be it scholarship funds or CSAs.
They can pick many areas to be involved.”
Today, the partnership between the South Dakota
Community Foundation, the Day County Community
Foundation and local donors is working to improve
the lives of area residents. Day County has 21 funds
totaling $1.35 million working for local nonprofit
organizations, communities and students. Over
the past 14 years, these funds have awarded
$155,000 to area nonprofit organizations. Area
residents have come together to ensure that Day
County continues to thrive for future generations.
“If we put aside any rivalry between
towns and pull together, the future is
very bright for Day County. Whether
you have a general desire to support the
community at large or a more specific
goal, the Day County Community
Foundation and the South Dakota
Community Foundation is a natural fit.”

Behind each and every fund at the South Dakota

help others. We are inspired by the generosity of
South Dakotans who gave 3,530 gifts through the

Today’s changing community needs and complex challenges require creative
thinking and new approaches. That is why the Bush Foundation partnered with the
SDCF to support nonprofits that are leading the way in community innovation in
South Dakota.
The grants help nonprofits address a need in a community by increasing collective understanding
of the issue, generating ideas and implementing solutions. These steps, which may be repeated,
eventually lead to a breakthrough in addressing a community need that is more effective, equitable
or sustainable than existing approaches.
In 2015, the SDCF awarded $400,000 in Community Innovation Grants to 42 nonprofit and charitable
organizations to carry out inclusive, collaborative and sustainable solutions. The SDCF received 102
applications with requests totaling more than $940,000.

the original investment will be repaid at the end of
11 years. The $2 million program-related investment
is also the largest one-time funding outflow for a
single project in the SDCF’s 28-year history. The
SDCF’s leadership saw this opportunity as a way
to leverage the foundation’s resources to support
significant economic development in the state.
Pictured are (left to right): Jim Hart, chair of the South Dakota Community Foundation (SDCF) Board of Directors; Stephanie Judson, president of the SDCF;

Sanford Lab: A $2 Million Investment
in South Dakota’s Future
SDCF Investment Supports Economic Development
In September 2015, the South Dakota Community
Foundation (SDCF) Board of Directors decided to
take an unprecedented step to support economic
development in the state. The SDCF responded
to the South Dakota Science and Technology
Authority’s (SDSTA) request for a $2 million programrelated investment to help kick start LUX-ZEPLIN
(LZ), the next-generation dark matter detector.
of liquid xenon and will increase the opportunity to
discover dark matter by a magnitude of 30. The LZ
experiment is estimated to run from 2018 to 2026.
“The foundation’s investment in this project will
help the U.S. keep a science-leadership role in
the global competition to detect dark matter,” said
Mike Headley, executive director of the SDSTA.
The LZ experiment is the successor dark matter
experiment to LUX (Large Underground Xenon),
which is currently operating on the 4850 Level of
the Sanford Lab. LUX, which has a third of a ton of
liquid xenon at its core, is the most sensitive dark
matter detector in the world today. LZ, the nextgeneration dark matter detector, will have 10 tons

Grant Recipient Spotlight: Sanford Lab
LUX was installed inside a 72,000 gallon water tank.
This tank will also be used for the LZ detector.
A Pioneering Investment
The program-related investment works differently than the
grants the SDCF typically distributes to nonprofits, because
“The program-related investment is a new way
to carry out the original mission set in 1987 by
the late Governor Mickelson, myself and fellow
members of the first South Dakota Community
Foundation Board of Directors,” said Jim Hart,
current SDCF board chairman. “The South Dakota
Community Foundation has been tasked with
investing in programs that benefit the social and
economic well-being of the people of South
Dakota, and helping to launch the LUX-ZEPLIN
experiment at Sanford Lab will do just that.”
The SDCF is providing critical funding to the
SDSTA to help ensure that the next phase of
research, already approved by the Department
of Energy and the National Science Foundation,
happens here in South Dakota and brings millions
of dollars in positive economic impact with it.
A Newsworthy Event
The public announcement of the partnership
was made at the SDSTA’s board meeting
in Lead on September 17, 2015. The event
drew widespread attention from the local
media. SDCF President Stephanie Judson
was interviewed by KEVN, KNBN and KOTA
television. The Rapid City Journal and other area
newspapers also reported on the partnership.
Although the program-related investment
was non-traditional, the South Dakota
Community Foundation offers a variety of grant
opportunities to South Dakota nonprofits each
year. Grants support community innovation,
education programs, health services and more.
$1 Million Grant
Threshold Exceeded
in Pennington County
At the close of 2015, the South Dakota Community
Foundation paused to celebrate the great work
Pennington County charitable organizations
accomplished with the help of the SDCF’s
South Dakota Fund. The South Dakota Fund has
addressed ever-changing needs in the area through
108 grants totaling $1.1 million.
The South Dakota Fund is an unrestricted grant
program, which supports culture, economic
development, education, health and human services.
The endowed assets of the South Dakota Fund are
invested in perpetuity and provide approximately
$500,000 in annual support to nonprofits across
the state. Throughout the SDCF’s history, every
county in the state has received at least one South
Dakota Fund grant. Pennington County is the second
county to exceed the $1 million grant threshold.
The SDCF’s impact on Pennington County goes beyond
South Dakota Fund grants. The SDCF also administers 36
funds for Pennington County residents and organizations
totaling more than $10 million. Distributions from
these funds have accounted for another $1.6 million
in grants to nonprofit causes in Pennington county.
The SDCF applauds the work of Pennington
County nonprofits and looks forward to
supporting them for years to come.
“The South Dakota Community Foundation helped
fund the startup of the Rapid City Crisis Care
Center that now helps nearly 2,000 people per
year experiencing a mental health or substance
abuse crisis. We are fortunate to have as a partner,
the South Dakota Community Foundation,
as together we build positive change in the
communities in which we live, work and play.”
– Alan Solano, CEO of Rapid City Crisis Care Center.

Community Savings Accounts
HELPING COMMUNITIES THRIVE & PROSPER
The SDCF has partnered with 72 communities across South Dakota to form Community Savings
Accounts (CSA). A CSA provides current, past and future residents with the opportunity to give back
to the town they call home.
These funds are invested with the SDCF and as the fund grows, so does the amount available to give back. A local board
of directors distributes available funds to nonprofits through grants to meet the needs of the community. As a result, the
money raised in the community stays in the community.

How has your board utilized subfunds to increase
the impact of your Community Savings Account?
We have 17 separate funds under the First Fidelity
Bank & Tripp County Community Foundation
umbrella. Our donors appreciate the fact that these
will be perpetual funds. Their money will benefit
a project, organization or scholarship near and
dear to their heart for many years to come.
Foundation while doing estate planning, tax planning,
memorializing a loved one or just looking for a good place
to give. We think a good motto is “Give till it feels good!”
A donation to the First Fidelity Bank & Tripp County
Community Foundation is a gift that keeps on giving.
What are some of the board of directors’
favorite moments in First Fidelity Bank & Tripp
County Community Foundation’s history?

CSA SPOTLIGHT
A Conversation with a Community
Savings Account Leader
First Fidelity Bank & Tripp County Community Foundation
Dawn Covey joined the First Fidelity Bank & Tripp County Community Foundation Board of Directors
in 2009. Since moving to Tripp County from northeast South Dakota in 1985, Dawn has developed a
great appreciation for the area, its communities and its residents. She shared with us how the work of
the First Fidelity Bank & Tripp County Community Foundation, one of the South Dakota Community
Foundation’s Community Savings Accounts (CSA), is influencing Tripp County communities.
Why do you enjoy living in Tripp County and
volunteering with the First Fidelity Bank &
Tripp County Community Foundation?
I have lived in Tripp County longer than any place in my
life and am proud to call it home. I appreciate this area
for its wide-open space, mild climate and especially
the great community-minded people that live here.
I am starting my 30th year with First Fidelity Bank in
Winner. The Lillibridge family started seven branches
of First Fidelity Banks in south-central South Dakota
and established a Community Savings Account in each
of them. I appreciate the commitment to community
expressed by the Lillibridge family and the encouragement
they give their employees to be active in our communities.
Because of my work with the First Fidelity Bank
& Tripp County Community Foundation, I have
experienced, firsthand, the generosity of area
residents. I have observed unselfish donations of
time and resources. These experiences fuel my
desire to see our foundation’s growth continue.

The First Fidelity Bank & Tripp County Community Foundation
helped to finance the development of the Winner Community Pool.
Why do you feel community members choose to support
the First Fidelity Bank & Tripp County Community
Foundation with their hard-earned dollars?
The visual results of projects supported by First Fidelity
Bank & Tripp County Community Foundation are our best
promotion. Families have witnessed others memorialized
by scholarships administered through our foundation,
which has triggered them to do the same for their loved
ones. You can also look around the community and see
where grant funds have been put to use and this creates
a desire for others to contribute to the foundation.
C O M M U N I T I E S | A Conversation with a Community Savings Account Leader
Board member Chuck Keiser remembers when Ray
Petersek came to the board with a vision of making
a Veterans Memorial in front of the Tripp County
Courthouse in Winner. His vision included a memorial
naming all of the past, present and future veterans on
granite pillars.
Tripp County Courthouse Veterans Memorial
The cost of the project was estimated to be
approximately $95,000. The board indicated it
would fund $10,000 of the project if he was able to
raise the balance. Ray went to work and with the
assistance of longtime foundation chairman, Bill
Matousek, came up with the necessary funds. We
now have a beautiful and very patriotic Veterans
Memorial in front of the Tripp County Courthouse.
What should Tripp County residents
know about this CSA?
Past chairpersons Keith Goodhope and Bill Matousek,
especially, deserve so much credit for the success
of the First Fidelity Bank & Tripp County Community
Foundation today. They gave our community something
to build on, and few surpass the dedication that
these two men have for their home county. We are
fortunate that we have five of the founding board
members still serving today — Chuck Keiser, Gary
Fenenga, Barry Grossenburg, Bill Matousek and Judy
Benson. We are grateful for their 21 years of service.
I would also like them to know that the First Fidelity
Bank & Tripp County Community Foundation, and
our 17 affiliated funds, have given in excess of
$331,000 to community groups since 1995. Our board
members are committed to being good stewards
of these funds and have a strong desire to make
Tripp County a better place to live, work and play.
What Challenges exist for the First Fidelity Bank & Tripp
County Community Foundation moving forward?
We need to be sure that potential donors think about
the First Fidelity Bank & Tripp County Community
Ray Neyens Jr. and Grace Neyens present the Ray & Grace
Neyens scholarship to student Ashley Meiners.
Pictured are (left to right): Barry Grossenburg, Bill Matousek, Gene
Grossenburg and Charlie Grossenburg. The Grossenburg family is a
strong supporter of the First Fidelity Bank & Tripp County Community
Foundation. Recently, the Grossenburg Family & Employees Fund
set up a challenge grant of $30,000 a year over five years. The
Grossenburg family contributed an additional $10,000 at the end
of each year when the goal was met. Overall, the Grossenburg
family contributed $100,000 as part of the five-year challenge.

South Dakota Community Foundation
F I N A N C I A L S | Giving Back Forever
The Legacy Society honors those who have made
arrangements for future, end-of-life gifts to the SDCF.
What types of gifts can I make?
BEQUESTS
Through a bequest in your will, you can establish a
new fund honoring your family’s legacy or make your
gift to the South Dakota Fund, which awards grants to
charitable and nonprofit causes across South Dakota.
LIFE INCOME GIFTS
Establishing a charitable gift annuity, a charitable lead
trust or a charitable remainder trust allows you to receive
income for life and provides a future gift to the SDCF.
Not only will you receive a stream of income for life,
but you can also generally bypass capital gains on the
sale of property and receive a charitable deduction.
REAL ESTATE
Land or other property you own that has a very low
cost basis often generates significant capital gains
tax when sold or transferred. Gifting all or a portion
of property to charitable interests through the SDCF
allows you to reduce or effectively eliminate capital
gains and estate tax. A variety of giving options exist,
including retaining a life estate in the property gifted,
allowing the SDCF to sell your property and add the
proceeds to your endowed fund, or choosing to have
the SDCF hold and manage your property and distribute
a portion of the net income annually to charities.
LIFE INSURANCE
Life insurance policies can be used to make sizable gifts
to benefit your favorite charities. By making the SDCF the
owner and beneficiary of a life insurance policy, the policy
will be kept out of your estate for tax purposes and you
can receive a current charitable deduction for your gift.
JOIN TODAY
If you have made provisions in your estate plan
to make a gift through the SDCF or would like to
discuss the benefits of making a planned gift, please
let us know by calling 800.888.1842 or visiting
SDCommunityFoundation.org/ContactUs.
We would like the opportunity to recognize
you today, in appreciation of your gift for
tomorrow. You may also choose to join the
Legacy Society as an anonymous member.
