In October 2020, the Friends of South Dakota Public Broadcasting welcomed 44 new members into the SDPB Legacy Society. A virtual induction event was held to honor these individuals and the commitment they have made to the future of South Dakota Public Broadcasting.
The SDPB Legacy Society is composed of generous and forward-thinking donors who will support our long-term success through a planned gift. There are several ways to leave a legacy gift, including bequests, beneficiary designations, and charitable remainder trusts. Each option gives our supporters the opportunity to leave a mark on this vital community resource.
We invite you to join this esteemed group by including a gift to SDPB in your estate plans or with a gift to our endowment or one of our partner foundations, including the Black Hills Area Community Foundation, the Sioux Falls Area Community Foundation, or the South Dakota Community Foundation. To learn more about the benefits of joining the SDPB Legacy Society, visit www.sdpb.org/legacysociety or call (605) 677-5861.
