Aberdeen Area Community Foundation
Aberdeen Area Community Foundation, Inc. was chartered as Aberdeen Area Foundation, Inc. on April 23, 1984 to receive and administer a gift from a local businessman. The particulars of that first gift are lost to history, but true to its slogan, Looking Forward. Giving Back., AACF and its many contributors remain committed to the promotion and preservation of Aberdeen and the surrounding communities. AACF endows the gifts given to it and spends only a portion of the earnings from the endowment on worthy area projects. It is the perfect mechanism for individuals, organizations, companies and others to provide for their community future as their legacy. AACF is a stand-alone 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, but also enjoys a relationship with the South Dakota Community Foundation as a Community Savings Account

Hub Area Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) was founded in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller in Americus, GA. The concept was developed at Koinnonia Farms with home building beginning in 1968. Over 800,000 homes around the world have been built, rehabilitated, or repaired since it was founded. Habitat's reach extends to all 50 U.S. states and more than 70 countries around the world. After nearly four decades of building homes and helping 5 million people improve their housing situations, Habitat understands that adequate housing fundamentally transforms lives. Children gain a sense of security, have room to grow and can focus more on their education and dreams for the future. Since March 1984, when President Carter first donated his time and carpentry skills to Habitat, the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project (CWP) has been helping spread the message of Habitat for Humanity International around the world. The projects have taken thousands of other volunteers to house-building sites worldwide. Hub Area Habitat for Humanity is the Aberdeen area affiliate of HFHI and was founded in 1993. Hub Area HFH has built or renovated 12 homes, 11 of which are located on or near Ward Drive. Dr. Dick Ward was the first executive director followed by Peter Kirkpatrick. In the beginning, Hub Area Habitat for Humanity had difficulty finding suitable lots for home building. Consequently Hub Area Habitat for Humanity decided to purchase and develop land for Habitat homes. After the North Penn home was completed, Hub Area Habitat secured financing used to purchase and develop 14 lots on Ward Drive. Ten lots currently have Habitat homes with two additional lots having Governor's Houses.
