Since its humble beginning in 1966, Edgewood's program has expanded so that today the actual monthly cost to house, educate and counsel each student exceeds $1300. Parents pay what they can afford, often only $100 or less per month. Funding and gifts in kind from individual donations, foundations, churches and corporations must make up the balance.

Edgewood Children's Ranch is a registered charity, making donations tax-deductible. Yet the Ranch does not accept Federal or State money, since that would require departure from Christian principles, so important to the healing process.

It is hoped that in the near future supporters will enable the updating of buildings, many of which are over thirty years old. The Ranch would like to replace doors, windows and furniture in the cottages and school and install new lights in key areas. Other needs include replacing faucets, sinks, toilets and urinals, and replacing the tile and carpet in cottage living quarters and the school. New social services and parenting facilities are also high on their ever-growing “wishes-and-needs” list.

There are many ways in which you or your organization can help support this important mission. Various planned giving opportunities, such as bequests and charitable trusts, can make a difference in the lives of children - even for generations to come.  Contact us to learn more.
