An Important Update from Lost&Found
Sioux Falls, SD – June 10, 2026 – After careful evaluation and thoughtful consideration, the Lost&Found Board of Directors has made the difficult decision to dissolve the organization. This decision was not made lightly—it comes after months of reflection and was driven by deep care for our mission, our staff, and the communities we serve. It has been shaped by a changing funding environment and broader uncertainty, despite the extraordinary support and partnerships we have received over the years.
We want to be clear: our work is not ending abruptly. Throughout this transition, our programs will continue to operate as we take deliberate steps to ensure their continuity. The Board is actively working with partner organizations to identify strong, mission-aligned homes where these programs can continue to grow and thrive. We see this not only as a transition, but also as an opportunity—one that allows our programs and staff to connect with expanded resources, new partnerships, and additional support to carry this work forward and deepen its impact.
We are profoundly grateful to our community. The generosity, trust, and partnership of our supporters have been foundational to everything we have accomplished. Together, we have built meaningful programs and made a lasting difference, and that impact will continue beyond the life of this organization.
The Board remains fully engaged in leading this process, with a focus on supporting staff, maintaining continuity of services, and preserving the strength of our relationships. We are committed to communicating openly and thoughtfully along the way. Additional updates regarding program transitions will be shared as information becomes available.
As we move forward, we welcome continued connection and collaboration. If you are interested in partnering with us to help sustain and advance this work, or if you have questions, we encourage you to reach out.
With sincere gratitude,
Lost&Found Board of Directors
