Create Lasting Impact
by Giving Back

Think back to your time at the University of South Dakota. The moments that challenged you, the mentors who believed in you and the friendships that shaped your life. USD is where futures take root and where memories and connections endure long after graduation.

Though campus continues to grow, the spirit of USD remains the same—a community driven to inspire, lead and make a difference.

Now, it's your turn to create lasting impact. Your gift, whether online, by check, direct deposit or recurring, helps fuel opportunity, empower students and strengthen the programs that define USD. From the Yote Fund to your favorite college or school, your support builds a legacy that lasts.
