President’s Report: Forward Sioux Falls Investor = Sioux Falls Development Foundation Member
- June 18, 2025
By: Bob Mundt, President & CEO
As we prepare for the ninth Forward Sioux Falls campaign, the Sioux Falls Development Foundation Board of Directors has made a strategic decision to eliminate our traditional membership dues model. Going forward, Forward Sioux Falls investors will be recognized as members of the Development Foundation with pledges supporting the work of the Development Foundation in place of dues.
Current Development Foundation/FSF contributors will be asked to combine their investments into their FSF IX pledge; others will be asked to contribute to the FSF campaign for the first time. In return, Development Foundation members will automatically remain members as investors in FSF. By investing in Forward Sioux Falls, you’re fueling the mission and impact of the Development Foundation—no separate membership required.
“This is a great opportunity to streamline our dues and investment processes in our partnership with Forward Sioux Falls,” said Bob Mundt, President & CEO of the Sioux Falls Development Foundation. “Our members are approached multiple times for dues and sponsorships from our nonprofits. This allows them to contribute to the growth and development of many projects in the community through one investment.”
“The Board feels this is a good way to continue supporting the Development Foundation, increase contributions to the Forward Sioux Falls campaign, while making it easier for our members and investors to support multiple projects under the umbrella of Forward Sioux Falls,” said Development Foundation Board Chair Kent Cutler. “It is our hope that this change will make it easier for our members to track our progress and contribute in a meaningful and productive way.”
We believe this streamlined approach will provide a more effective and impactful way to fund our economic development and workforce efforts. Thank you for your continued commitment to advancing the Sioux Falls area through your involvement with Forward Sioux Falls and the Sioux Falls Development Foundation.
