We are excited to announce that the South Dakota Humanities Council (SDHC) has successfully raised $200,000 to support its vital mission of delivering humanities programming across South Dakota. Founded in 1972 in response to an act of Congress, SDHC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization uniquely dedicated to promoting and celebrating the humanities throughout the state. As the only cultural organization solely focused on humanities in South Dakota, SDHC has long been a beacon of literary and civic engagement. This new investment will directly enhance our ability to support public programs, grant funding for local community initiatives, and critical research and discussion projects—efforts that forge meaningful conversations about our society, history, and shared experiences. The funds will also bolster our ongoing commitment to the South Dakota Center for the Book, a program established by the Library of Congress in 2002, which has inspired numerous reading and literacy initiatives as well as the popular annual Festival of Books. Our vision to lead statewide advocacy in the humanities is stronger than ever, and we are eager to use this funding to create more opportunities for cultural enrichment and education. By amplifying the celebration of literature and promoting robust civil conversations, the South Dakota Humanities Council continues to tell the stories that define our state. This funding milestone enables us to further our work with local communities and partners, ensuring that the humanities remain a vibrant and integral piece of South Dakota’s cultural life for generations to come.

PhoenixAI
PhoenixAI is pioneering the next generation of Physical AI—intelligent systems that understand, reason about, and react to the real world through multi-sensor perception and advanced autonomy. Our mission is to build AI that moves beyond text and images, enabling machines to learn physics, interact intelligently with their surroundings, and operate safely and autonomously across air, land, sea, and industrial environments. At the core of our platform is the Fuxion AI Model, a foundational Physical AI engine capable of learning complex physics principles directly from raw sensor data. Unlike traditional AI systems that rely on curated datasets or narrow task-specific training, Fuxion AI continuously learns from multimodal inputs—RF, radar, EO/IR, acoustic, inertial, and environmental data—to form a unified understanding of real-world conditions. This breakthrough allows our model to accurately predict and respond to physical events, including scenarios it has never seen during training. From counter-UAS and autonomous drones to industrial sensing, robotics, and mission-critical edge systems, PhoenixAI delivers intelligence that adapts in real time, even in GPS-denied or high-interference environments. Powered by advanced reinforcement learning, multi-sensor fusion, and edge-optimized ML, PhoenixAI is redefining what autonomous systems can achieve. We are building the physical intelligence layer for the next era of defense, critical infrastructure, and industrial automation—where machines are not just connected, but truly aware, resilient, and autonomous.
