Donating to Edgewood

Because all of our funding comes from private sources, it is never possible to plan a long-term future for the Edgewood Children’s Ranch. In these days of increasing concern over youth-related crime, we have no shortage of families who need help….but because we never turn a child away based on ability to pay, there is always a need for money to keep the program up and running. For this reason we invite you to consider giving today in order for the Edgewood Children’s Ranch to continue its work in the future.

Even though parents pay what they can afford to help house, and educate their children, this is often minimal to the actual cost which is accrued. The balance is made up from gifts of financial support from individuals, churches, foundations, and corporations.

Edgewood Children’s Ranch is a 501C-3 registered charity and all gifts are tax deductible. The Ranch does not accept Federal or State funding, since that would require departure from Christian principles which is center to the Ranch.

Gifts of Cash

The easiest, most common way for people to support Edgewood Ranch is with cash gifts—checks, and credit cards are accepted.

Daily Operations

Our biggest need for financial support is our day to day operational costs. This is the area that covers items such as payroll, utilities, insurance and maintenance costs for our facility. We are debt free except for our Thrift Store which we hope to pay off in the near future. We have completed an energy audit on our facility and we are in the process of updating our lighting to become more energy efficient.

Academic Enrichment

One of our main goals at Edgewood is to educate our students and provide them the best opportunity to prepare for their future. By donating to this fund, we will continue adding the necessary items to improve and keep our education program current. Recently, we have introduced a new Life Skills class for some of our older students. Here we focus on financial management and future job placement skills.

Cottage Life Support

Cottage Life is the core of our program. This is where cottage parents provide the example of a temporary family unit to the kids at the Ranch. Our needs hear range from items such as furniture and appliances to linens and household furnishings. We also want to provide ongoing training and education for our cottage parents to keep them abreast in the ever changing field of child care.
