SIOUX FALLS, SD — MarketBeat continued its commitment to local community impact in the third quarter of 2025, directing $57,000 in philanthropic support to 10 nonprofit organizations and initiatives throughout the Sioux Falls area.
This quarter’s giving focused on strengthening programs that support education, mental health, youth development, and accessible recreation.
Below is a look at the organizations and initiatives MarketBeat supported in Q3 2025, along with how funds will be used to serve and strengthen the Sioux Falls community:

MarketBeat's donation will help support these services.
