AFP SD, South Dakota Chapter

History: The South Dakota Chapter was formed in 1986 so that fundraisers in South Dakota could be a part of an organization that fosters professionalism and high ethical standards, promotes networking among fundraisers, and offers opportunities for continuing education.  The chapter has grown to approximately 100 members. Because our chapter represents a large geographic area, area groups meet regularly for continuing education and networking in Sioux Falls and Rapid City. In addition to those meetings, we offer continuing education during an annual conference at the National Philanthropy Day celebration and at other periodic trainings throughout the state.
