Stewardship

shares, rents or sells donor information.

Our scholarship policy: No youth, teen or adult is turned
away from any of our programs or services. We scholarship 98% of our
members / participants. The Cheyenne River Reservation is one of the
poorest in the United States. There is no casino, no public
transportation, no libraries, no movie theaters, no shopping malls.
Communities are spread throughout the 4,500 sq. miles, connected by
mostly gravel roads.
Our financial support: Programs and operations
are supported solely through contributions from individuals, churches,
other YMCAs, Y’s Men’s & Women’s Clubs, YMCA of USA World Service, NAFYR
groups, adult and youth organizations, businesses and foundation
grants.
Co-operation with other local and national
organizations is critical in our efforts to implement effective
programs/services and to fully utilize and be good stewards of our
human, financial and material resources. Some of our partners are:
Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe
(CRST)
Juvenile Diabetes Prevention
CRST Community Health Representatives
Western S D Community

American Indian Relief Council
Local Churches
Tribal & Public Schools

and donation amount.

and donation amount.
Capital Campaign
Gifts to the Capital Campaign will fund
the Lakota Leadership Center, a residence
and meeting
house for volunteers and a training facility for local teens and
adults.
The need for this facility becomes more critical as we
continue to serve more communities. We receive more requests
from
groups and individuals to come to volunteer than our current
housing capabilities. This lack of housing creates a
lost opportunity
for the communities and the volunteer. The Center would also provide
additional, much need program space

Thank you for making
your gift today! A letter acknowledging your
donation
will
be mailed.
Your comments
and questions are
welcomed. Please email me.

Clothing, Household or
Toy Donations
The Sioux YMCA collects clothing,
linens, books, household items, and toys to periodically hold Rummage Sales in the different communities. We enjoy these gatherings and
the opportunity to provide affordable items to families. Most items
sell for dimes and nickels which in turn
are used to purchase items for our youth programs in that community.
Single moms and others in special need receive items at no cost.
Please do not send non-seasonal items. We cannot store them.
