Explore South Dakota Focus Fund

Partner with SDPB to support stories that connect South Dakotans.

SDPB is South Dakota’s storyteller, bringing you compelling, local stories that are both fresh and familiar at the same time – stories that inform, inspire, and entertain all South Dakotans.

SDPB invites South Dakotans to explore the places, people, and hidden treasures that make our state special. Dakota Life transports you to communities across the state, from Lemmon to Elk Point and everywhere in between – turning the unfamiliar into the familiar. Original documentaries like South Dakota Women in Uniform, Badger Clark: Poet Among the Pines, and Tatanka: A Way of Life spark curiosity, foster understanding, and bring us closer to one another.

Making a charitable gift to the Explore South Dakota Focus Fund empowers SDPB to continue creating original, local programs for generations to come.

“Working with our team every day to create compelling programming that educates, enlightens, and entertains South Dakotans everywhere is my honor. SDPB’s programming reaches far beyond the borders of South Dakota and celebrates the extraordinary people, places, and stories that make our state special. We simply couldn’t do it without the financial support of members and donors who believe in our mission, so thank you.”
– Twyla Olson, Director of Content and Assistant General Manager
