Serving as an extension of your team, we’ll work with you to create a personalized philanthropic plan for your clients.

We'll work with you to develop a plan that meets your clients' values and passions, and addresses their tax-planning needs. And since we are located in Sioux Falls, you'll receive top-notch service.

Experience with complex, non-cash assets

In addition to gifts of cash and marketable securities, the Sioux Falls Area Community Foundation also accept gifts of real estate, appreciated stock and other securities, grain or other commodities, qualified retirement plans such as IRAs or 401Ks, life insurance policies other non-cash assets.

Community insights

We can offer research and analysis on community needs and opportunities, as well as nonprofit evaluation and site visits for organizations of interest to your clients.

Next-Gen and Family Philanthropy Planning

We can help your clients develop long-term, multi-dimensional charitable plans that offer opportunities for new generations of family members to engage in giving, and that outline succession plans for future management of the fund.

Privacy and Anonymity

A Donor Advised Fund at the Community Foundation can protect your clients’ privacy at the level they desire, unlike private foundations which must adhere to public reporting requirements.
