Join us for our Wisdom, Innovation, Networking (WIN) Luncheon at The Rushmore Hotel & Suites with spotlight speaker Nora Leinen, Rural Philanthropy Institute.

Philanthropy and generosity are ingrained in the ethics and culture of South Dakota. We are people who help neighbors, support our community, and take care of each other. In times of great need, it can feel like we are bailing out the ocean with a teacup! As the third sector, nonprofits are an important part of the economic ecosystem and the more we find ways to collaborate, the stronger our communities become. Let’s discuss how partnerships with nonprofits can become a sustainable part of our everyday business, getting away from the transactional and getting into the actionable, creating a better tomorrow for us all.
