From healthcare to hockey, leaders share impact of Sanford’s philanthropy
News from SiouxFalls.Business
The leadership of Children’s Home Society had never made a million-dollar ask of a donor until approaching T. Denny Sanford in 1999.
As the story goes, Sanford listened to the request and said he would think about it.
Then he followed up.
“I’m not going to give you the $1 million,” the conversation began.
Pause.
“I’m going to give you $2 million.”
