The Foundation was one of the founding partners of Forward Sioux Falls, a series of marketing efforts responsible for boosting the economy since 1988.

The 1990´s brought about a partnership with the Minnehaha County Rural Mayors to provide development services to the small communities. The Minnehaha County Economic Development Association was established to promote the area. With the success of MCEDA, Lincoln County communities partnered with the Foundation to establish the Lincoln County Economic Development Association.

The Forward Sioux Falls Technology Program was established in 1999 by the Foundation and Chamber of Commerce and resulted in the development of the Zeal Center for Entrepreneurship; a 45,000 square foot business incubator/accelerator.
