CHS Foundation

Supporting Children and Families

Children's Home Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that was established in 1982 for the purpose of supporting the programs of Children's Home Society of South Dakota in perpetuity.

The Foundation raises financial and gift-in-kind resources for operating support, facility needs and long-term sustainability. We achieve this through a variety of fundraising events and activities, including building endowment funds through immediate gifts and estate gifts. We also promote community awareness of the work of Children's Home Society through publications, special events, media resources, campus tours and speaking opportunities. 

Without your generous support, the critical services provided by Children's Home Society for children adults and families would not be possible.
