What Brandon Development Foundation Inc does
Mission
The mission of the brandon development foundation (bdf) is to create and to retain jobs within the city of brandon, south dakota. As a non-profit organization with a volunteer board of directors, bdf takes the long-view and realizes that economic development is a long-term effort.economic development brings new jobs into town which benefits the community through increased local payrolls that in turn come back to brandon in terms of retail activity, sales tax, and increased home ownership. Additionally, commercial and industrial properties generally pay proportionately more property tax and take back less in services than residential properties. The bottom line is that industrial growth is tax relief and increased development is good for the city of brandon.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
During the last fiscal year, one sale of land occurred in the rovang industrial park. The sale of lot 5, block 1, rovang industrial park addition occurred on february 3, 2025. The city of brandon continues to work with that buyer regarding the future development of that lot. As of the end of the fiscal year, lot 3, block 2, rovang industrial park addition was subject to a purchase agreement. We anticipate that transaction to close before the end of 2025. Assuming it occurs, that leaves the brandon development foundation with only one lot left to sell in the rovang industrial park. Until the final lot is sold, we could potentially incur some recurring minimal maintenance costs for the detention pond. It's also possible the detention pond will need further engineering depending on the needs of the eventual buyer of lot 4, block 3, rovang industrial park addition. The detention pond will eventually be transferred to the city of brandon.otherwise, the majority of our work this past year has been marketing the available properties and working with imeg and the city of brandon on the possibility of creating a future wetland mitigation bank on the east side of the city of brandon.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $4.5M to $6.2M (+37%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
