Weller Family Foundation exceeded a half-million dollars in donations earlier this year, its board is currently in the process of seeking the next recipients. The Sam F. Weller Family Foundation (SFWFF) has been giving grants to area nonprofit organizations since its inception in October 2014.
The board of directors decides each May and November through an online application process where to distribute the funds. “The Weller Foundation is the result and reflection of one family’s legacy in Mitchell,” said Dave Olson, president of the SFWFF.
“We are blessed with time and energy and resources, usually time and energy comes first, but at the end of the day we will not be judged by how much time or energy or resources we had, but rather what we did with them. ” The foundation was formed in honor of Sam F. Weller and his family as a way to give back to the Mitchell community in which Weller loved.
It gives grants to charities and special projects that will enhance economic development, programs that will bring social changes for disadvantaged people, or community studies and research. The Weller family lived in Mitchell for three generations. Sam Weller died in 1978, leaving a lasting impact on the Mitchell community.
Weller was actively involved in the Mitchell community including service with the Masonic Lodge, the Mitchell Shriners, the Elks Club, the Lions Club and was an artifact contributor and volunteer greeter for the Dakota Discovery Museum. He was an avid sportsman and was a life member of the Mitchell Sportsman’s Club, Ducks Unlimited and Quarterback Club.
He also served on the board of directors of Mitchell Development Corporation and the Chamber of Commerce. He and his wife were active members of St. Mary’s Episcopal Church where he served as senior warden of the church vestry.
Another way Weller was involved in the community was by helping run the family business. The Weller Land Company was organized in Mitchell in 1890 as a farming operation, and was later renamed The Weller Company when it added an insurance agency to its business purpose. After Weller died in 1978, his legacy did not stop there.
After several years of consideration, the SFWFF was organized in 2014 and has been donating in his name since then. Some examples of grant recipients include the new track at the Joe Quintal Field, Dakota Wesleyan University, The Mitchell Area SafeHouse, The Abbott House, Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), and several other area organizations.

Simpler.Grants.gov became the default search in December 2025 and targets 35 percent of Grants.gov competitions by end of 2026, with full replacement slated for 2027. But submission still runs on legacy infrastructure and still requires SAM.gov, UEI, and AOR authorization. Here is what actually changed, what did not, and the five traps in the two-system year.
Read articleThe May 29 OMB rewrite of 2 CFR Part 200 quietly rebuilds the pass-through entity compliance architecture. Proposed §200.332 strengthens subrecipient risk assessment, monitoring documentation, and remediation triggers. A new requirement mandates that every subaward be reported to SAM.gov with the reported records confirmed in performance reports — converting subaward administration from a back-office accounting function into a public-record certification regime. For the universities, state agencies, and national nonprofits that pass through more than half of their federal awards as subawards, the operational implication is a new compliance operating model that needs to be standing up by the October 1 effective date.
