Livestock & Stewardship Program
The Foundation operates the SBA Stewardship/Livestock Program, one of the most unique support programs in Christian education. Through agricultural and non-agricultural operations, the program provides ongoing revenue for SBA while reflecting the community-driven spirit of rural South Dakota.
The school purchases and places livestock with local producers who care for the animals. Proceeds from the sale of offspring go directly to support the school. This partnership between SBA and the agricultural community has been a cornerstone of the school’s financial model for decades.
