The Ipswich Tiger Post is the longest running unaffiliated out-of-school time program in the state of South Dakota. 

Since 1988, 215 total grants, nearly $10,000 each, have been awarded to nonprofit organizations serving Sioux Falls and other Minnehaha County communities from just the South Dakota Fund grant program alone.

“Our program is a great resource for employers seeking a more diversified work force,” said Jordan Harer, Job Skills Program instructor. “The Job Skills Program builds that bridge helping employers find new employees and helps a community that is underemployed.”

The Kadoka Learning Center 21st Century Afterschool and Summer Program provides daily afterschool and summer programs along with weekly summer field trips to locations throughout South Dakota. 

“The South Dakota Community Foundation grant allows Safe Harbor to continue to provide quality education to advocates, law enforcement, mental health, prosecutors and educators across the state who serve victims of crime”, said Gina Karst, Executive Director, Safe Harbor. 

The Hope Center is the only day center in the Rapid City area and offers its guests a safe environment where they can get off the streets during the day and receive supportive services.
