A small to mid-size youth-focused nonprofit based in Rapid City / the Black Hills region seeking general operating support and with an existing local relationship or referral.
Good Fit
- • Based in Rapid City or serving the Black Hills region of South Dakota

- • Request is for general operating support at the scale observed (roughly $17K–$35K)
- • An existing relationship, introduction, or track record with local funders or current grantees
Geography
In the latest year all grants were awarded to organizations in South Dakota, concentrated in Rapid City; over the three-year record the giving is dominated by Rapid City recipients with only one out-of-state award noted.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funds a very small stable set of recipients (three distinct grantees in the latest year), with two organizations recurring across the three-year period and only one new recipient observed.
New Applicants
The filings state grants are by preselection only and the observed pattern shows repeated support to a small circle of local nonprofits; direct evidence of regular entry by unfamiliar applicants is lacking across the three years.
