Wells Fargo Invests $1 Million Toward Rural Small Businesses in South Dakota
MOBRIDGE, S.D., August 20, 2025 /3BL/ – The Wells Fargo Foundation recently announced a $1 million philanthropic investment to support small business growth across South Dakota, with a focus on empowering entrepreneurs in rural and tribal communities. The funding will be distributed evenly between Akiptan, a Native-led community development financial institution, and GROW South Dakota (GROW SD), a statewide economic development organization, providing critical resources and capital to small business owners and agricultural producers throughout the state.
As Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) highlighted at the announcement in Mobridge, investing in rural small businesses means investing in the future of South Dakota: “Small businesses are an essential part of the fabric of our communities and our way of life in South Dakota. They provide good-paying jobs and opportunities for so many hardworking folks across our state. This investment will go a long way in helping them grow and create new jobs, especially in rural and tribal communities.”
Jason Rosenberg, head of Public Affairs for Wells Fargo, emphasized the bank’s history in South Dakota at the event and the importance of community investment: “Wells Fargo is proud to support small businesses by expanding avenues to capital as they create economic growth and bring jobs to towns throughout the state and the country.

Akiptan expands opportunities for agricultural producers
Akiptan’s mission is to transform Native agriculture and food economies by delivering creative capital, leading paradigm changes, and enhancing producer prosperity across Indian Country. Since lending operations began in 2019, Akiptan has addressed the gap in access to capital by offering patient, non-extractive lending tailored for producers across Indian country. For Akiptan, each agricultural operation is more than just a business – it’s a family legacy and a way of life.
“We are excited and humbled to receive these funds from Wells Fargo,” said Skya Ducheneaux, Executive Director, Akiptan. “We can’t wait to put these dollars to work in Indian Country by supporting agriculture operations. Especially in South Dakota, agriculture is a root-level driving force of the economy that we are proud to support.”
GROW SD supports rural small business success
GROW SD will directly support rural economic development by expanding access to capital and by providing business support for small business owners, enabling business growth and the preservation or creation of jobs. All participating businesses will also benefit from customized technical assistance, including one-on-one advising and targeted training in areas such as cash flow forecasting, credit counseling, and marketing.
“Access to capital remains one of the greatest challenges in our rural communities, and this collaboration allows us to deliver the critical funding and assistance that local entrepreneurs need to grow and succeed,” said Marcia Erickson, GROW SD Co-CEO. “It is also a privilege to work alongside Akiptan in this partnership and to support its efforts in serving farm producers.”
“This $1 million investment into South Dakota from Wells Fargo will strengthen local economies and create a lasting impact across the communities we serve. We are grateful to be able to expand the reach of our work across rural communities,” Lori Finnesand, Co-CEO, added.

FedEx-Funded Training Is Helping Heart to Heart International Reach More People in Crisis
When disasters strike, timing is everything. The faster Heart to Heart International (HHI) can respond, the more lives we can touch. But speed and impact don’t happen without training and preparation.
Thanks to the generous support of FedEx, 2024–2025 has transformed HHI’s training and readiness programs. With expanded virtual courses, hands-on simulations, and role-specific learning, our staff and volunteers are more prepared than ever to meet the demands of real-world disaster response. That readiness means we’re able to reach more people, faster, and with better care.
The value of this investment was clearly seen during hurricanes Helene and Milton, which devastated communities across seven states in the fall of 2024. These dual disasters tested our team and systems, but thanks to focused training, our team rose to the challenge. Volunteers who had completed advanced courses stepped into key leadership roles. One volunteer, trained in our new Power and Communications module, managed all field technology for a 15-person team. This allowed staff to focus on delivering $2.2 million in medical aid and reaching more than 400 patients with care, including administering 239 lifesaving vaccines.
This kind of capability is the new standard thanks to our evolving training strategy. In April 2025, HHI hosted its most comprehensive Emergency Medical Team (EMT) simulation yet. Volunteers and staff worked side-by-side to set up mobile clinics, coordinate logistics, and triage patients in a controlled but realistic environment. The goal? Ensure that when a disaster hits, no one is figuring things out for the first time.
Before the training, only a few volunteers rated themselves as “very prepared” to deploy. Afterward, that number more than doubled, with 100% of participants saying they felt more confident and equipped to respond. The training didn’t just build skills, it built trust, strengthened relationships, and empowered people to lead.
One volunteer shared, “Acting out a deployment, from communications to patient care, really demonstrated what it’s like. The amount of preparation that goes into this shows how much HHI cares. That’s why I choose to be a part of it.”
Through the LearnUpon Learning Management System, HHI has scaled training access even further. Now, staff and volunteers can learn anytime, anywhere, with courses in disaster medicine, logistics, cultural sensitivity, and more. Already, 91 users have completed 20 courses, with many more in development. These tools are preparing responders before they ever set foot in the field. So when the time comes, responders are ready to serve.
Every hour of training is an investment in someone else’s survival. Thanks to FedEx’s support, HHI is prepared to reach more people, provide better care, and show up stronger in every emergency.
Thank you, FedEx, for making this possible. Together, we’re proving that with the right training, we can respond wherever we’re needed most.

Accessible Kiosks Are Evolving—and LG Is Helping Lead the Way
By Chris Jung, President & CEO, LG Electronics North America
This summer marks the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the groundbreaking civil rights law that transformed access to public spaces, digital tools and employment for the tens of millions of people with disabilities. As we reflect on this legacy, one of the most promising frontiers for continued accessibility is emerging in a B2B space you may encounter daily: the kiosk.
Self-service kiosks have become ubiquitous—from ordering at quick-serve restaurants and navigating airports to checking in at hotels and checking out at retail stores. But for individuals with different vision, mobility or hearing abilities, traditional kiosk designs often present significant barriers. Now, thanks to LG Electronics and our partners in the disability community, accessibility is being built into kiosk design from the ground up.
Leadership in Accessible Kiosk Design
As part of our “Better Life for All” ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) vision, LG has just unveiled a new generation of accessible kiosks aimed at inclusive interaction. Our new kiosks are thoughtfully designed with height-adjustable screens, tactile input options, voice guidance, and screen reader compatibility—making them usable by people in wheelchairs or those who are blind or low vision.
These B2B kiosks, which will be rolled out in food & beverage, hospitality retail, healthcare, and transportation sectors, are just one component of LG’s broader accessibility strategy, which includes accessible home appliances, audio-narrated manuals, and smart home integration via voice assistants.
What sets LG apart is not only the hardware design, but its collaborative approach. The company works with advocacy groups, accessibility researchers, and disability advisors to build interfaces that address real-world challenges. Working with accessibility experts at Tech for All and alongside people with disabilities throughout testing and development, accessibility isn’t treated as an add-on – it’s embedded in the DNA of our new Gen2 kiosks.
Industry-Wide Momentum
LG is proud to co-chair the Accessibility Committee for the Kiosk Manufacturer Association, which represents dozens of companies investing in accessible kiosk design. Many new systems now include Braille labeling, gesture or voice controls, haptic feedback, and AI-driven personalization that adapts to user needs. Some restaurants and transit hubs are piloting kiosks that automatically adjust interfaces based on the proximity of assistive devices like wheelchairs or screen readers.
Encouraging industry collaboration and accommodating a range of accessibility needs, LG’s kiosks support various advanced assistive technologies; examples include Vispero’s JAWS® for Kiosk screen reader for audio navigation, Storm Interface’s tactile AudioNav™ keypads (6- and 9-key layouts) and SoundHound AI’s voice interface for hands-free commands. The kiosks also support Epson receipt printers and modular barcode/QR scanners, while a webcam accessory is in development to expand functionality.
ADA at 35: A Catalyst for Innovation
The ADA created a legal foundation for accessibility. Today, it serves as a moral and technological catalyst. As we celebrate 35 years of progress, accessible kiosks represent more than just convenience—they embody a broader shift toward equity, dignity, and independence for all.
With companies like LG driving innovation through inclusive design, the next chapter of ADA implementation promises to go beyond compliance—to a world where accessibility is seamlessly built into every public interaction. A Better Life for All is a future worth designing for.
