Help Secure the Future of CHS Since the early 1900s, caring friends have helped CHS survive challenging economic times by providing bequests from their estates. Today, donors are using a wider variety of gift vehicles to ensure that CHS can care and advocate Legacy Gifts for children and families well into the future. In addition to making a bequest through a will or trust, friends often designate CHS to receive memorial gifts. Making CHS the beneficiary of a life insurance policy or retirement plan is another popular option. For larger estates, Lead Trusts and Charitable Remainder Trusts are advantageous gift vehicles. Unless otherwise restricted, estate Unless designated for a specific purpose, legacy gifts are used to grow the gifts to Children’s Home Foundation endowment from which a board-designated percentage is distributed annually are used to fund, in perpetuity, CHS to fund CHS programs and services. To include CHS in your will, the most programs and services through annual common bequest language is: distributions from our endowment. I bequest (description of gift) to Children’s Home Foundation to be used to support the operations of Children’s Home Society of South Dakota.

CHILDREN’S HOME SOCIETY ANNUAL REPORT | 27 GIFT FOR GOOD CHILDREN’S INN ENDOWMENT CAMPAIGN

As the population of the Sioux Falls area rises, the need for shelter and services for victims of domestic violence and child abuse also increases. And statistics show that approximately one in three women in South Dakota will experience domestic violence in her lifetime.

Children’s Inn is the only domestic violence shelter in Sioux Falls. We serve all of Minnehaha and Lincoln counties— a population close to 300,000—along with McCook, Turner and Union counties. The current facility, built in 1991, has a 40-bed capacity. However Children’s Inn has been at or above capacity during most of the last six years.

Following a feasibility study, due diligence and consideration of all options, CHS is moving forward to build a new Children’s Inn facility on East 10th Street, adjacent to the old School for the Deaf (now Empower campus), with groundbreaking on May 4, 2021.

Please Join Us Children’s Inn provides essential shelter and care for vulnerable people in our community. Your compassion, care and visionary thinking will help shape their future, and help safeguard our community’s quality of life for generations to come.

To be part of this effort, please visit giftforgoodsd.org or contact Rick Weber at 605-965-3127 or [email protected].
