About the Foundation

The SD Ag Foundation was formed in 2015 as an independent, industry-led nonprofit comprised of South Dakota leaders dedicated to enriching agriculture for generations to come. The Foundation is committed to being the South Dakota ag community’s trusted philanthropic partner as we work to support rural communities and the development of the next generation of agricultural leaders.

Endowed funds are used to invest in projects and provide grants that will have a lasting impact on the future of South Dakota agriculture. Our partners are organizations and individuals who share a love of the land, a passion for the agricultural community, and a vision for the future of our state.

The South Dakota Ag Foundation currently has more than $3 million in endowed funds. Over the past six years, the Foundation has awarded grants to a variety of community organizations throughout the state, as well as youth education and leadership development programs.
