Bringing Hope Through Education and Healing

AVB FOUNDATION was born from love, loss, and the unwavering belief that every child’s life leaves a lasting legacy.
We are a nonprofit organization based in Pierre, South Dakota, dedicated to helping families navigate two of life’s most critical journeys: healing after the loss of a child, and building a brighter future through education. We understand that grief doesn’t come with a timeline—and healing doesn’t happen in isolation. That’s why we walk alongside every family we serve, offering both practical assistance and heartfelt compassion.
Our foundation is funded by generous donors and compassionate community partners who believe in the power of education, the necessity of healing, and the importance of remembering every child’s name.
