Foundation Story
Since 1896, VOA Dakotas has been called by the Gospel to guide people to live healthy and fulfilling lives. In living out this calling, the organization has become one of the largest nonprofits in the United States. Today, the need for our ministry of services remains strong, and we invite you to join us in believing in tomorrow.
The 1896 Society celebrates those who demonstrate a meaningful financial commitment to the future of our organization. Reflecting the belief that a dedicated group of individuals can make a special contribution that will help people for many years to come, the 1896 Society brings together individuals with leadership, ability, experience and influence to support the mission of VOA Dakotas with their financial gifts.
Believe. Belong. Build. Beyond.
A journey of stewardship. A calling to legacy.
