Giving Tuesday coming up in South Dakota

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – To prep for the giving spirit of the holiday season, South Dakota Day of Giving will be happening all over the state, including locations near you.

South Dakota Day of Giving, also called Giving Tuesday, is in its eighth year. It’s an occasion where communities throughout the state can come together and donate to local nonprofits. It will take place this year on Dec. 2, 2025.

Nearly 400 community organizations throughout the state are registered to participate.

“Too often, the vital role South Dakota nonprofits play in providing essential services and amenities is taken for granted,” said Nora Leinen of South Dakota Gives, which organizes the statewide giving day. “The South Dakota Day of Giving allows us to take a moment out of the busy holiday season to show our gratitude and our support for the passionate people and organizations around us, elevating our communities’ quality of life.”

Throughout the state, nonprofits will have multiple campaigns to engage community support. In 2024, nearly $1.1 million was raised during Giving Tuesday.

“The Day of Giving may be a one-day event, but it’s a reminder of the work nonprofits are doing year-round,” said Leinen. “We’re excited to see our participants go all-out this Giving Tuesday.”
