Mobridge Community Fund

Donate today, continue giving forever

In 2022, Mobridge Community Fund asked if we would be willing to pick up the torch and move the Mobridge Community Fund into a new chapter. We said yes!

Since then, we have been raising funds to open a Community Savings Account with the South Dakota Community Foundation. All donations to this account are added to the principal balance of the growing fund. Every year, the MCDC Board of Directors will be able to withdraw 4% of interest earned to be used for local nonprofit projects. Our ultimate goal is a $1,000,000 principal balance that returns $40,000 for community projects each year.

In the past, Mobridge Community Fund raised annual gifts and distributed them immediately to many local nonprofits doing important work to strengthen our community. The local needs keep growing while donations are staying the same—so we decided the Mobridge community needs a more sustainable plan moving forward into the future.

Some say the best time to start an endowment fund was 20 years ago, and it’s true that it takes a while for the principal to build and offer larger gains to local nonprofits—but we feel there is no better time than the present to get started on this important work. While we let our fledgling fund grow, we are continuing to partner with amazing local nonprofits to fundraise more intentionally for projects and programs they’re working on—mainly through free grant writing and fundraising assistance.

If you have given to the Mobridge Community Fund in the past, please know how much we appreciate your help, and if you’d like to know more about all of these amazing non-profits we are helping this year, please check out our Facebook page, where we highlighting the important work of the nonprofits we’re working with on projects. If you are interested in an estate or legacy gift, please let us know. There are great partners at the SD Community Foundation with knowledge about how to plan for a charitable annuity, estate gift, and more.

Now through the end of 2026, we have the exciting opportunity to match the first $10,000 in donations. If you’re willing and able to help us reach this important goal, please mail (or drop off) a check or click ‘Donate Online!’ to visit our new page on the SD Community Foundation website.

Checks can be mailed to Mobridge CDC, 114 1st Ave E, Mobridge, SD 57601.
