Page 1 PO Box 296 | Pierre, SD 57501 | SDCommunityFoundation.org | 800.888.1842 Fall 2015 Update Earl Nordby Selected as 2015 Philanthropist of the Year A Journey of Giving Earl Nordby of Huron was only seventeen years old when he had to step up and lead his family’s Pepsi distributorship business after his father’s unexpected and untimely death. Over the next 60 years, Nordby would grow the business from five employees to more than 80, when it was sold in 2009. His business served Mitchell, Chamberlain, Pierre and Huron for decades, and today, he continues to serve those communities through philanthropy. The South Dakota Community Foundation highly values Nordby’s leadership giving and support to nonprofits locally and statewide, which led the SDCF to nominate Nordby for the highest award given by the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP). The AFP honored Nordby as the 2015 Philanthropist of the Year at its Governor’s Awards Luncheon on October 6 in Rapid City. Nordby’s philanthropic contributions are substantial. He not only commits his own financial support to charitable causes across the state, but also motivates other individuals to give. His impact also extends to the South Dakota Community Foundation. His involvement with the SDCF began in 1998 when he joined the board of directors. He continued to serve as a board member until 2007. He has contributed to various funds managed by the SDCF and has established a family donor advised fund at the foundation. (Story continued on page 3). Nordby has supported organizations, such as 4-H, Mitchell Technical Institute and the United Way.

In 2015, the South Dakota Community Foundation launched the Nonprofit Savings Account program to challenge nonprofit organizations to build endowment dollars that will provide consistent funding for perpetuity.
Through a competitive application process, the SDCF grantmaking committee selected five nonprofits to receive a $20,000 challenge grant.
The organizations include: • Allied Arts Fund (Rapid City) • Boys & Girls Club of the Capital Area (Pierre) • Sioux YMCA (Dupree) • South Dakota Humanities Council (Brookings) • Teen Challenge of the Dakotas (Brookings)
Each organization will have three years to raise $80,000 to receive the $20,000 challenge grant from the SDCF. The funds will create a $100,000 endowment fund at the SDCF.
“The Allied Arts Fund is thrilled to receive the Nonprofit Savings Account Challenge grant,” says Gigi Lage, executive director of Allied Arts Fund. “The Nonprofit Savings Account at the South Dakota Community Foundation will help us establish a trusted source of funding and an investment in the future of our arts organizations.”
Application information for next year’s Nonprofit Savings Account challenge grants will be available online after January 1, 2016.

Foundation Flashback: 1994
Miller Area Community FoundationIn this section of our newsletter, we take a look into the SDCF archives to remember notable moments from our history. This issue’s Foundation Flashback focuses on the Miller Area Community Foundation. With a gift of $125,000 in June 1994, Jim Hart, on behalf of the board of the Hand County State Bank, gave the first gift to establish a Community Savings Account in Miller, also known as the Miller Area Community Foundation.
Twenty-one years later, that original gift has grown to more than $875,000 and will soon exceed $1 million after a current fundraising challenge is complete. The Mi l ler Area
Community Foundation has also given out a total of more than $350,000 in grants to benefit local nonprofits.
In 1994, the first board of directors included Faith Cahalan, Tip Sisk, Nini Hart, Sam Goodhope, Bobbi Heidepriem and Larry Hurd. The 2015 board of directors includes Rob Mullaney, Sandy Werdel, Nini Hart, Dan Coss, Terry Augspurger, Dawn Joy, Clayton Werdel, Betty Jo Welch and Tiffany Hofer.
Congratulations to the Miller Area Community Foundation on an incredibly successful 21 years! To donate to the Miller Area Community Foundation visit, SDCommunityFoundation.org/csa/miller-area-foundation.
Donating Commodities Through the SDCFFall harvest is upon us in South Dakota and tax season is also just around the corner. For many farmers and ranchers, tax bills can be reduced by donating
crops or cattle to the South Dakota Community Foundation to benefit charities.
In fact, gifting commodities to the SDCF can yield a greater tax benefit than making a cash gift. Cash contributions are deductible only when you itemize deductions from adjusted gross income. Since many farmers and ranchers do not itemize deductions, many producers can reduce their income by the gifted amount and still deduct the production cost of the gifted commodity, which may result in a reduction of self-employment and federal income tax.
How it Works1. Consult your tax professional before making the gift. 2. Gift the commodity to the SDCF after harvest
through a deed of gift or bill of sale. Commodity gifts should come from unsold inventory with no prior sale commitments.
3. Select the specific fund held by the SDCF you’d like to support. You can also gift the commodity to the South Dakota Fund, which benefits South Dakotans in the areas of economic development, human services, health, education and cultural programs.
4. The SDCF will then sell the commodity and distribute the gift through grant awards to nonprofits.
A Harvest Partner: Vern RauschIn 2011, community leaders in Hoven decided to create a Community Savings Account with the SDCF. The SDCF challenged Hoven to raise $100,000 in order to receive a matching grant of $25,000. After Plains Commerce Bank donated a large portion of the challenge, it was up to Hoven residents to do the rest.
Vern Rausch, a farmer and rancher from west of Hoven, stepped up to the challenge along with other members of his family and created the William Rausch Family Memorial Fund, an unrestricted sub-fund of the Hoven Community Foundation. This fund ensures grants will be distributed in the name of the Rausch family in perpetuity. The fund was originally established with a family gift of 2,253 bushels of oats and other gifts from community members. Vern and his wife Sharon contributed 851 bushels.
“Gifting commodities is an easy process, especially in Hoven,” says Vern Rausch. “Commodity gifting cards are available at the local elevator where the donor can gift the commodity before the sale. That allows the farmer/
rancher to avoid the sale of the commodity as income and still deduct the cost of producing the commodity in most cases.”
“These funds are perfect for matching challenges,” says Rausch. “If you are not in a position to sell the grain right away, you can avoid paying storage fees at the elevator. That
can really eat up the value of your grain. It is just a convenient and simple way for us to give back.”

It is just a convenient and simple
way for us to give back.“”
Get StartedOur expert staff at the South Dakota Community Foundation can walk you through the advantages of donating commodities to benefit nonprofits. Your individual circumstances are unique; therefore, you should always consult your tax professional before making any gift. Please contact us at 800.888.1842 or [email protected] with any questions.
challenge from the SDCF to raise $200,000. In return,
the SDCF will provide a $50,000 grant to kick start the
Community Savings Account (CSA). In just 10 months,
the Faulkton Area Foundation has already raised over
$45,000.
Troy Hadrick, president of the Faulkton Area
Foundation, shares more about the group’s fast start
and future goals below.
Q: Why is raising $200,000 to establish the Faulkton
Area Foundation important for the community?
A: The Faulkton community has invested countless
man-hours over the last several years to determine
what needs we have that aren’t being addressed.
Many of the priorities that came about from those
discussions were financial. That’s when we started
investigating our options to start a community savings
account. This vehicle gives our residents, businesses
and alumni the opportunity to have their donations
build over time and provide needed funding well into
the future.
Q: What does your early success say about the
community of Faulkton?
A: Our community has always been very generous
when it comes to funding special projects. So when it
came time for our newly formed foundation board to
set a fundraising goal, there was no doubt in our mind
that we would be successful. Our community motto is
“We Believe in Possible,” and it shows in the things
we accomplish.
Q: What challenges exist for the Faulkton Area
Foundation as you progress to year two?
A: We are working to help our residents learn more
about how they can support our foundation through
gifts left in their estates. It can be an intimidating
process, but with the help of the South Dakota
Community Foundation and local financial experts, we
hope to show people how simple it can be to leave a
lasting legacy on their community. Along with that, we
continue to work on new and innovative ways to keep
our local foundation growing.
Q: How important has it been to the Faulkton Area
Foundation to have a quality board of directors?
A: We have a fantastic group of people on our local
board. Our goal was to create a board that reflected
the make-up of the community, and we were fortunate
to have key people step up and commit. Anytime you
start something new it takes a lot of time and legwork
to achieve success. Because our board consists of
highly-respected community members who are
willing to think big and work hard, we’ve seen their
enthusiasm rub-off on our residents.
Q: What possible grant opportunities has the board
discussed supporting in Faulkton?
A: As with most small rural communities there’s no
shortage of projects that would really benefit from
our grants. For example, we recently started an
after-school program, we’re considering building
walking trails through the community, as well as the
continuing need of local programs like 4-H. All of these
and several others contribute to the quality of life in
our area, and we are excited about helping support
projects like these in the near future.
Q: What should Faulkton residents know about
this foundation?
A: The money they donate will go to work making
more money. Our board has agreed that we won’t
spend any of the principal, only the interest that’s
generated. That way your donations will continue
to provide grants for generations to come and for
projects that we can’t even foresee today.
