Children's Home Society of South Dakota

Children's Home Society of South Dakota (CHS) is a nonprofit organization with a mission to empower children, adults, families, and communities to be resilient, safe, healthy, and strong. Established in 1893, CHS is the oldest human services nonprofit organization in South Dakota. Through a merger in 1998, Children's Inn, a domestic violence shelter established in 1977, became a program of CHS. The organization offers a wide range of services including emergency shelter, residential treatment, special education for children, forensic interviews and examinations, foster care, adoption services, and prevention services. Moreover, CHS collaborates with parents to assist children dealing with emotional or behavioral issues. It is accredited by the Joint Commission and licensed by the South Dakota Department of Social Services. CHS's commitment to preventing, treating, and healing trauma, as well as its extensive range of services, demonstrates its significant impact in the community. The merger with Children's Inn further expanded its capabilities, allowing it to address domestic violence and child abuse effectively. As a United States-based organization, CHS stands as an essential resource in its region, providing vital support to those in need. For venture capitalists seeking impactful and socially responsible investment opportunities, CHS presents a promising option to consider supporting. More information can be found at chssd.org.
