Matt Brakke, Chair of the Pierre/Fort Pierre Area Community Foundation, said the Foundation creates a sustainable funding source for all local charitable causes. He said they receive more requests for support each year than their current resources can meet, so they invite all residents to include the Pierre/Fort Pierre Area Community Foundation in their charitable giving.
The funds are permanent endowments held with the South Dakota Community Foundation and managed by local advisory councils. The two endowed funds have granted over $680,000 to nonprofits in the local area since inception.
