HB1244 eliminates the special donations fund and instead gives the Department of Education $500,000 to fund the Jobs for America's Graduates-South Dakota program through grants to nonprofits and schools. The grant money can be used to match private donations, federal grants, or support collaborative education efforts, but cannot be added to endowments. Any money currently in the special donations fund will be moved to the state's general fund.
