Sky Ranch Foundation ℠, established in 1961, is dedicated to giving at-risk youth a second chance by supporting programs that enhance the quality of help available to these individuals. Their mission emphasizes enabling those in need, particularly by focusing on initiatives that improve the lives of troubled youth through effective and efficient means.
The Sky Ranch Foundation's grant program is designed to support organizations and programs that assist troubled youth between the ages of 11-18, with a special emphasis on those aged 11-15. The grants aim to prevent young people's involvement in the criminal justice system and support their long-term rehabilitation through residential or other alternative settings. The foundation looks for proposals that provide comprehensive support services, including education, job training, enrichment activities, counseling, and case management. While the foundation primarily funds within the United States, its territories, and Native American tribal lands, consideration for grants outside these guidelines is at the directors' discretion.
