Becoming a Sponsor

The South Dakota State Society is a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization designed to provide a social and professional network for anyone who has lived, worked, or studied in South Dakota and anyone who holds the state near and dear to their heart. We were formed in 1954 as an opportunity for native and adopted South Dakotans in the Washington area to share their common bond and the spirit of our great State. Although it had been inactive since 1982, the group was revived in 2008 and has become a beacon for South Dakotans living in Washington.

We have many events throughout the year and an inaugural ball every four years. Events that members rave about are the Rushmore Rally in the spring/summer and a USD vs. SDSU football watch party in the fall.

The future success of the SDSS also depends on the continued support of dedicated sponsors.  By generating interest in events and increasing membership, we can achieve our goal of expanding the SDSS and sharing what our State has to offer with others.  We plan various events throughout the year, like happy hours, picnics, and service projects. SDSS reaches out to a multi-generational crowd to bring a bit of South Dakota to Washington, D.C.

Thanks for supporting the South Dakota State Society!
