Monthly Giving
On South Dakota’s reservations, too many Lakota (Sioux) children grow up in survival mode — facing poverty, instability and uncertainty. When each day is a struggle, it’s hard to imagine tomorrow, let alone dream about the future.
But, what’s a childhood without dreaming? Dreams are powerful. However, in order to dream the children need courage. They need strength. They need a DreamMaker.
That’s why your monthly gift will make such an impact.
DreamMakers are a special group of monthly givers who ensure our Native American students are cared for year-round. It’s a circle of kinship that surrounds Lakota children with safety, stability and love. The best part? You’ll be assured that 100% of your monthly gift goes to student programming and services — not a penny to overhead or fundraising expenses.
Our goal is simple: every child graduates prepared to live a life of purpose and possibility. With you by their side, that dream becomes real.
Become a DreamMaker today and help a child believe in tomorrow.
