How You Can Help

We are extremely grateful for a commitment from Avera McKennan for $1.5 million to help fund IHBG operating costs over the first three years.

However, it will take $5 million over three years to allow the Avera Institute for Human Behavioral Genetics to provide a basic core program. Monies beyond that can allow us to expand our program both locally and to other South Dakota communities. We need your help. Please consider giving back to your community by donating your time and philanthropic efforts to this cause.

Together we can build a stronger framework for social health. Together we can design better prevention and treatment approaches for children and families with psychiatric disorders. Together, we can make a difference.

For more information on the Avera Institute for Human Behavioral Genetics and how you can be part of an advanced future in behavioral health within our communities, please call the Avera McKennan Foundation at (605) 322-8900.
