Leave Your Mark Legacy Fund


About the Leave Your Mark Legacy Fund

The South Dakota Cattlemen’s Association (SDCA) is excited to announce a new opportunity for you to make a lasting impact on our organization and the beef industry. The Leave Your Mark Legacy Fund is a voluntary fundraising initiative to support specific SDCA programs and initiatives selected by the SDCA Board of Directors that will advance the interests of cattlemen across our state and ensuring the sustainability and growth of the organization. The SDCA Board of Directors has elected to earmark contributions to the Leave Your Mark Legacy Fund in fiscal year 2025 to support the creation and administration of the new South Dakota Cattlemen’s Leadership Academy.

The SDCA launched the new South Dakota Cattlemen’s Leadership Academy to strengthen our association and tackle the challenges ahead by identifying and developing future leaders within the beef industry. The South Dakota Cattlemen's Leadership Academy will empower emerging leaders with knowledge of the various sectors of cattle production and marketing, skills to communicate and advocate on behalf of producers, and the desire lead into the future.
Learn more about the South Dakota Cattlemen's Leadership Academy.

Contributions to the Leave Your Mark Legacy Fund are tax deductible, thanks to the partnership between the South Dakota Cattlemen’s Association and the South Dakota Cattlemen’s Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Members who go above and beyond their membership dues to support the Leave Your Mark Legacy Fund will be recognized in an issue of The South Dakota Cattleman magazine and on the SDCA website, or they may choose to give anonymously.
