Reliabank Donates $49,000 to Support Beacon Center Mission

Northeast Radio SD News - Watertown, SD - The Beacon Center received a major financial boost this week, announcing that Reliabank made a contribution totaling $49,000 to support the organization’s ongoing advocacy and shelter services.

The funding comes at a pivotal moment for the nonprofit, which provides critical resources for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. As government funding for such programs becomes increasingly scarce across the region, local leadership noted that this private support serves as a vital lifeline.

In addition to the direct donation, Reliabank officials worked to secure a grant on the center’s behalf to extend the gift's impact.

“With government funding becoming increasingly scarce, this support feels like discovering a golden ticket," the Beacon Center shared in a public statement.

The contribution highlights a growing trend of public-private partnerships filling the gaps in community social services. The Beacon Center continues to seek community support to maintain its 24-hour crisis intervention and housing programs.
