Provide Essentials

Usually, back-to-school season means excitement for children. But, it’s also one that can bring a sense of anxiety and uncertainty for many Native families. In South Dakota, 49% of Native Americans live at or below the poverty line—making it difficult to afford essential items. Together, we can offer relief to families who need help.

Education Opportunities

GED Scholarships

Our partnership with the Lower Brule Community College, in Lower Brule, South Dakota. Will assist Native youth on their first step to higher education. When you give today, your gift will help cover the cost of practice exams, exams, and travel.

"That is always the hang up for most kids is paying for the practice tests and the exam so thank you so much for making this possible. This is one step closer to self-sufficiency for some of our people." - Stacey
