Grant Overview

Priority Outcomes in South Dakota for Funding Grants for Racial Equity and Social Justice Initiatives

The Funding Grants for Racial Equity and Social Justice Initiatives, supported by a Banking Institution, aims to amplify the voices of communities of color and enhance the sustainability of grassroots journalism. In South Dakota, the focus is on addressing the unique challenges faced by its diverse population, particularly the Native American communities. The South Dakota State Government's Department of Tribal Relations is a key agency that collaborates with tribal governments and organizations to address these challenges.

Target Outcomes for South Dakota

The primary target outcomes for this grant in South Dakota are to increase the representation of Native American voices in local journalism and to improve access to information for underserved communities. The state's rural landscape and significant Native American population, with nine reservations, present distinct opportunities for grassroots journalism to make a meaningful impact. The geographic feature that distinguishes South Dakota is its vast rural areas and the presence of the Missouri River, which divides the state and affects the distribution of resources and access to information.

To achieve these outcomes, the grant will support projects that promote diverse storytelling, enhance media literacy among Native American communities, and foster collaboration between local news organizations and tribal governments. By doing so, the initiative aims to bridge the information gap and promote racial equity in the state.

Measuring Success in South Dakota

Success will be measured by the increase in the number of Native American journalists in the state's newsrooms, the diversity of stories covered by local media, and the level of engagement among Native American communities with local news. The grant's impact will also be assessed by the extent to which it enhances the sustainability of grassroots journalism in the state, enabling it to continue delivering vital information to underserved populations.

The outcomes of this grant are critical in South Dakota, where the Native American population faces significant disparities in access to information and representation in media. By focusing on these priority outcomes, the grant will contribute to a more equitable and informed society in the state.
