Our Donors
Lasting Impact
We believe that strong partnerships lead to lasting impact. When a donor makes a gift to the SDPWF, they invest in the conservation, restoration, and enhancement of South Dakota’s parks, public lands, and wildlife habitats. Together, we can ensure South Dakota’s natural treasures continue to inspire and thrive. Many thanks to our generous donors for allowing us to fulfil our mission of enhancing outdoor recreation for future generations and preserving our parks & wildlife.
