Jim and Vicki Lust of Aberdeen have partnered with the South Dakota Community Foundation (SDCF) to facilitate their charitable giving since 2012. They began down their path of philanthropy with the Jim and Vicki Lust First Foundation, a designated fund set up to support the St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Aberdeen. More recently, they established a second fund–this time going with a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) for more flexibility within their charitable goals.
Jim and Vicki joined Pat Gallagher, Community Development Coordinator of the SDCF, to discuss their journey of philanthropy over the last 11 years.
In this episode you will hear:
What Jim and Vicki appreciate about their DAF and the flexibility it offers them in their charitable giving
Why giving back, especially to Aberdeen, is important to the Lusts
What they love about working with the SDCF
“You know, someone did it for us. Someone helped build schools, libraries, and YMCAs, and we hope to leave that legacy for the next generation,” shared Vicki.
