Overview

Mission

Provide a unified voice to educate, communicate, and advocate for the mineral industries in South Dakota.

What it reported doing in 2025

To honor South Dakota's world class mining heritage and its natural resource partners by: - supporting safe, sustainable, and responsible mineral resource development. - Instructing and collaborating with educators, community members, and policy makers. - Promoting the importance and benefit of natural resource development and use. - Sustaining and improving the quality of life for future generations of South Dakotans.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
