2023 Annual Giving Report

The Catholic Community Foundation for Eastern South Dakota publishes an annual report of financial performance at the end of each fiscal year. These reports are intended to provide financial transparency in the performance and growth of the funds we manage for our donors, as well as demonstrate community support for the work of The Foundation. Our annual report also allows us to express our gratitude to the many generous donors who have established endowments or various other funds for the benefit of our community. Donors who have established funds at The Catholic Community Foundation will have their name(s) or name of their fund(s) listed in the annual report. We hope with increased awareness of the funds currently in existence, others will be inspired to be charitable.

Enjoy an evening of beautiful music and moving storytelling as we celebrate the hope and joy of God’s incarnation at this year’s Christmas at the Cathedral performance, “Go In Peace!”

Christmas at the Cathedral benefits the Bishop Dudley Hospitality House, as well as the ongoing care of the Cathedral of St. Joseph, one of the region’s most significant civic and sacred landmarks.
