Sully County Community Foundation Grant
Even though we are an agent of the South Dakota Community Foundation, we are able to accept and administer charitable gifts, give good grants to our local nonprofit groups and organizations, and also give scholarships to hopeful young people from our region.
The Sully County Community Foundation was formed in 2017 with a community challenge to raise $200,000 in 5 years. With Sully County native Robert “Bob” Pierce, Jr’s generosity, local nonprofits will benefit for years to come. Grants are offered on a bi-annual basis to ensure opportunity to all organizations. Typically, applicants must be non-profit, government, school, or church related and repeat proposals from one organization within a 12- month period are discouraged.
