Support the Ranch to give our children a second chance at childhood

Raising children is expensive, especially when you raise as many as we do at the Arkansas Sheriffs’ Youth Ranches! But you can’t put a price tag on changing a child’s life. The ASYR is 100% privately funded, mostly by individuals, businesses, and foundations across Arkansas.

Please consider making a gift to invest in Arkansas’s future. Together we can help break the cycle of abuse and neglect devastating so many families. Donate today to give our children a second chance at childhood  – one with proper healthcare, educational opportunities, and a safe, loving home environment with people who care – not only for them – but also about them.

Make a one-time gift or become a Hope Builder with a monthly gift

A one-time or monthly gift to the ASYR’s General Fund allows us to immediately use your dollars where they are needed most. As a private nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, all gifts made to the Ranches are tax-deductible within the extent of the law.

Become a Hope Builder for our boys and girls with a monthly contribution or a round-up gift by donating your spare change from everyday purchases by rounding up to the next dollar. Your gift will be processed automatically each month with a credit or debit card and provides constant, much-needed support for our programs. Even small gifts make a BIG difference in children’s lives!

Did you know that just $25 per month provides:

•  New shoes for up to six of our boys and girls
•  A monthly allowance for one child
•  Caps and gowns for all of our graduates
•  Birthday gifts for 12 children
•  Feed for our farm animals for one month
