2024 Annual Giving Report
Each year the Catholic Community Foundation for Eastern South Dakota (CCFESD) publishes an annual report to honor the profound generosity of our donors, to celebrate the financial stewardship entrusted to us, and to provide financial transparency. These reports not only showcase the growth and impact of the funds we manage but also tell a powerful story of hope, community, and the transformational work made possible through the support of donors.
Through this report, we express our heartfelt gratitude to the individuals and families who have established endowments and funds that bless countless lives and benefit our community. We hope these stories of generosity inspire others to join in building a legacy of giving—because together, we are providing a future filled with faith, hope, and lasting impact.

CCFESD Grants
Funded through donor-directed endowments, CCFESD is able to distribute grants on behalf of donors to organizations serving the spiritual, educational, and social needs of our Catholic community. Through generous donations to unrestricted endowments, CCFESD’s grant committee can allocate CCFESD-directed grants through an application process to urgent and emerging community needs.
