Introducing the Newest Members of Our Team!

Cassie Stoeser

CONTROLLER

Cassie joined the Foundation in March 2021 as Controller, and assists with the accounting and financial operations of the Foundation.

Before joining the SDCF, Cassie served the State of South Dakota as the Finance Director of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED), where she oversaw multiple loan and grant programs for small businesses and communities. Prior to that, she worked at BankWest as a Credit Analyst and the South Dakota Department of Legislative Audit as an auditor. The most rewarding part of her most recent job at GOED was helping businesses and communities to improve the quality of life in South Dakota.

In that same vein, Cassie looks forward to helping play a part in enhancing communities across the state and making South Dakota an even better place to call home. A native of central South Dakota, Cassie grew up in Onida. She now lives outside of Pierre with her husband Cody and three young children.

Before her time with SDCF, Jennifer worked in the insurance industry for seven years with Fischer, Rounds & Associates and American Trust Insurance, LLC. Jennifer grew up in the “middle of nowhere,” Montana. She became a Pierre transplant in 2005 where she continues to reside with her husband and daughter.

She is proud to be part of an organization that assists donors, communities, and nonprofits in creating a lasting legacy for South Dakota.
