South Dakota Community Foundation
As a statewide community foundation, we work with donors, nonprofits and community leaders to strengthen philanthropy in South Dakota every day.
Grants
The South Dakota Community Foundation offers an array of grants to help state nonprofits realize their dreams and continue investing in their communities.
First Fidelity Bank & Platte Area Foundation Grant
The First Fidelity Bank & Platte Area Foundation was formed in 1995 when First Fidelity Bank challenged the communities in which they serve to raise money for the future.
The mission of the Platte Area Foundation is to promote philanthropy, receive and administer charitable gifts, and invest in programs that promote the social and economic well being of the people of the Platte and surrounding area.
Volunteerism
Projects which have paid staff but involve significant and continuous community volunteer support to enhance their existing programs will be favorably considered.
Discrimination
Applications from agencies offering services exclusively to one gender, age group, or race will be closely scrutinized for discriminatory practices. Funding will be based on the needs of the individuals being served.
Innovation
The Platte Area Foundation fund ongoing, well established projects as well as innovative projects designed to address existing community needs in innovative ways.
Multi-year Funding
Only proposals for one year will be considered by the Foundation Board. If projects require more than one year to accomplish their objectives, they should submit a letter with the first year application indicating their intent to request additional years of funding. No guarantee of continued funding will be communicated until subsequent grant applications are reviewed. Once initiated under Foundation funding, projects with good track records should be considered favorably in subsequent grant decisions. No more than three years of sequential grant funding shall be awarded to any one grantee for the same purpose.
Challenge or Matching Grants
The Platte Area Foundation encourages matching funds from all grant applicants. When the Board perceives the need for more local involvement and support of a given project in order to establish ownership in the community, it may require challenge grants in any proportion. Funding may be contingent upon acquisition of the required matching money. There may be times when the Platte Area Foundation perceives a need is not being met and may issue a challenge grant or request for proposal to participate in a challenge grant to address that need.

A New Direction Grant
Amber Coffman Campbell Memorial Fund
Amber and her generous heart took time to genuinely listen, as good friends do. She saw the bright side of everyone and believed in the goodness in each person. Her blue eyes were luminous and her smile made everything right in the world. Bubbly and effervescent, Amber was a soul of happy endless optimistic youth.
In 2007 Amber and Darby Campbell were married at their new home on Sunny Side Road. She fell for his dashingly romantic side and was swept away with his humor and creative ideas. He adored her passionate energy and bright spirit. They loved the sun and surf …and each other. Amber always had an interest in beauty. She was a model in her younger days and on Maui she found the Esthetician school from which she graduated in 2003. She creatively blended the idea of beauty with the natural world and brought about a new spa in 2008. Her creation of Wildflower Day Spa took off. It was an unfolding of her dream.
Amber was passionate, inspiring and generous of spirit. She brought forth an idea that there was always something about to unfold, something magical just in front of us, that something beautiful would happen this very day. And it always did, she would find something delightful in her path, even the littlest thing and embrace it.
Although Amber left this world too soon, she has given us a gift of her unbidden joy that we carry around with us in our hearts.
A New Direction Grant is offered to Bonner County residents seeking to better themselves by attending a college, university or trade school.

Target Populations: Marginalized communities of Omaha, Nebraska
Funding Structure: Exploration Grants
Given the dramatically changing funding landscape and trickle-down effects on programs, we are structuring the exploration grants as flexibly as possible: providing resources for “thinking time.” Organizations or partnerships can use this funding to support an exploration or planning process to consider what the future looks like for their program(s).
We will provide 10–15 philanthropic grants ranging from $15,000–$25,000. There is flexibility in the use of funds (e.g., planning retreat; consultant assistance with data/strategy development; general operations for staff time; etc.), whatever would be most helpful to leadership to explore and think through.
Grant period: 6 months to 1 year

Travel Oregon
Mission: We inspire travel that uplifts Oregon communities. Collaborating with partners to align as stewards of Oregon, we work to optimize economic opportunity, advance equity and respect the ecosystems, cultures and places that make Oregon…Oregon.
Tourism Experience Studio
What local experience do you want to create for others?
Perhaps you have thriving markets and agriculture that, with more collaboration between producers, could lead to on-farm visitor experiences, farm-style dinners or more locally produced foods in area restaurants. Or maybe your scenic, low-traffic country roads would make for an outstanding bicycle experience if you could develop the amenities to support visitors. Or maybe you have myriad outdoor recreation experiences and they just need to be mapped and plugged in to Travel Oregon’s world-class visitor information system.
No matter what you’re offering, we believe that defining and differentiating your community’s opportunities can help you both increase economic vibrancy by drawing in visitors and improve local livability. The Tourism Experience Studio helps communities focus on key strategies to build tourism in a manageable, sustainable way—to stimulate the local economy while protecting and enhancing local resources and maintaining the qualities that make the place so special.
The Tourism Experience Studio is a streamlined one- to two-day workshop that helps communities strategize on how to develop and market specific tourism products. Communities can choose to focus on one type of product development – culinary and agritourism, outdoor recreation, or bicycling experiences. Ideally, communities apply to participate in a studio that aligns with the type of assets that exist locally.
Community Commitment
Communities participate in a one- to two-day workshop in which local participants collaborate to develop strategies to enhance unique tourism experiences in culinary and agritourism, outdoor recreation, or bicycle tourism. Following the interactive workshop, the local action team participates in a work session, facilitated by Travel Oregon, to outline a goal-oriented plan of action. Upon plan completion, the action team can apply for a Tourism Studio Matching Grant for up to $5,000 to complete one (or more) projects identified through the program.
We ask communities to commit to the following:
The Tourism Experience Studio is offered several times throughout the year and the wait time can run 4-6 months.
Expectations for Participation
Interested communities must be prepared to make a significant and long-term commitment to leadership and participation.

Explore 8,000+ funding opportunities for operational support, with $3.34B in resources. Instrumentl helps nonprofits secure essential funding by offering grant discovery tools, deadline tracking, and strategic funder analysis to ensure long-term success.
How common are grants in this category?
Quite common — grants in this category are more prevalent than in others.
Over the past year, when are grant deadlines typically due for Operating grants for Nonprofits?
Most grants are due in the first quarter.
What's the typical grant amount funded for Operating Grants for Nonprofits?
Grants are most commonly $32,500.
Nonprofits of all types can apply for operating grants, but they are especially useful for organizations needing flexible funding to support the core work of their mission. Operating grants are ideal for nonprofits involved in general population well-being. Specific sectors include healthcare, education, social services, and the arts. Unlike project-based grants that fund specific initiatives, operating grants help with essential costs like staff salaries, rent, and general admin costs. Funders often look for groups with a clear mission who serve a meaningful purpose and have potential for long-term impact.
Based on Instrumentl’s live grant database for operating, grant deadlines are most common in Q1, accounting for 29.7% of all submission dates. The slowest period for new grant opportunities in this category falls in Q4, making it a less competitive time for preparation and strategic planning.
Operating grants exist to help nonprofits function smoothly and grow effectively. The goal is to give organizations the financial means they need to focus on their mission, serve their communities, and support long-term stability. These grants allow nonprofits to improve everyday operations, invest in staff development, and expand programs. Funders want to see nonprofits thrive, not just survive, and providing operational support is a key element to making that happen.
Funding for operating grants varies widely, with award amounts ranging from a minimum of $0 to a maximum of $188,250,000. Based on Instrumentl’s data, the median grant amount for this category is $32,500, while the average grant awarded is $633,837. Understanding these funding trends can help nonprofits set realistic expectations when applying.
Operating grants are often funded by private foundations like the popular Ford Foundation. Some government agencies offer grants to strengthen nonprofit infrastructure, especially in sectors like health, education, and social services. Corporate giving programs may also support nonprofits that align with their values and create lasting impact.
To improve the chances of getting operating grants, nonprofits should:
