SFACF announces $49,500 grant to Helpline Center for new Warrior and Family Support Initiative
On January 17th, Sioux Falls Area Community Foundation hosted a gathering aimed at building public understanding of the sacrifices South Dakota service personnel and their families have made on behalf of us all since “9/11”.
Now, Helpline Center will take the idea to the next level with it Warrior and Family Support program, which will make access to much-needed Veteran resources easily available. Start-up costs will be covered by a $49,500 grant from SFACF. For more information on the initiative, click here.
Guests at "Coming Together" showed great enthusiasm by volunteering their time and service to help our Veterans. For a complete list of resources and volunteer opportunities click here.
For Good. For Ever.
In partnership with donors, Sioux Falls Area Community Foundation provides philanthropic leadership that assures the quality of life in our area, for good, for ever.
When folks ask us what we do, our quick answer is "We help people who want to do something good for the Sioux Falls area." We:
- Encourage gifts to endowments that benefit virtually every person and family who calls this community home.
- Invest those endowment gifts so that they can make a difference in people's lives for good, for ever.
- Assure that the abundance reaped from those endowments furthers the work of the people who keep our community strong and vibrant.
Each year, millions of dollars flow from the Sioux Falls Area Community Foundation to support the good work of hundreds of churches, schools, and charitable groups.
This ever-growing stream of local philanthropy begins in the hearts of thousands of donors, people who have prospered here and want to give something back to the community. Whether they support a project with a pass-through gift or build a charitable legacy, whether they make a small memorial donation to honor a loved one or plan a bequest from a large estate, people who want to do something good for the Sioux Falls area find a pathway for their good intentions through SFACF.
We are all heirs to the gifts entrusted to the Sioux Falls Area Community Foundation's stewardship -- the ones we benefit from today and the ones that will be here for future generations.
Our asset value now is considerable, but we measure our success by the satisfaction in the hearts of our donors and by the optimism that shines in the eyes of those whose lives are made better through our work. These are the true hallmarks of the Sioux Falls Area Community Foundation.
Sincerely,
President/CEO
