Ways to Support Us

 

We can’t do it alone, and there are many ways you can help support our mission and the work we do at Pathfinder Ranch. From following us on social media to volunteering your time and talents to making a donation – whatever support you can provide is appreciated and needed. 

Make a General Contribution

If you would like to contribute to the mission of Pathfinder Ranch but don’t have a specific cause, you may make a general gift that will go toward improvements and upkeep. General contributions ultimately reduce or eliminate the cost of programming by covering day to day expenses. This is especially important during the Coronavirus pandemic as general donations support essential operations until programming is able to re-open.
