“I’ve seen generosity in the people of South Dakota... and it is strong. People in communities are having a conversation about generosity in a different way. This giving day has the opportunity to encourage that even more.”
— Paula Jensen, Dakota Resources
Lasso in some prize money
Nonprofits who signed-up to participate in South Dakota Day of Giving through the South Dakota Gives website are eligible to win prize money from the South Dakota Prize Pool. The prize money is made possible thanks to individuals, businesses and foundations interested in spreading generosity across our state through the giving day.
“Giving is important to anything good you want for your community. When we show up and give, it is human nature at its best, whether that is monetary or time.”
