On March 3rd, 2020 Ruby Ranch launched a nonprofit called Little Rubies. Your donation will help enrich our Summer Youth Camps, Field Trips, Farm Tours, Open Hours and our Farm and Nature Preschool + Kindergarten. In 2024 we served over 3,000 students. We loved love to continue growing our programming. Please consider donating to our programs today! Learn more below:
Your Support Makes All the Difference
At Ruby Ranch, we are doing something new and a little unknown and the community’s response has been nothing short of powerful. Every single donation, no matter the size, plays a BIG role in bringing our vision to life.
We believe in nature-rich, hands-on learning that helps children connect deeply with the world around them. This is not just a program, it’s a movement to do education differently, and it’s working! We want to provide space for kids to be kids. Our incredible and knowledgeable board is helping lead the way, ensuring this program is not only unique, but truly making a difference in our community.
We listen closely to our families, customers and neighbors, adapting and growing based on what our community needs most. But for this vision to thrive, it takes a village. Unlike many nonpublic (private) schools that are subsidized through a church, we must rely heavily on foundations, sponsors and donors to keep our doors (and barn doors) open!
Your generosity helps offset the cost of payroll, insurance, curriculum, food, materials, scholarships, and the upkeep of our beloved farm. You can choose to give into one of our specific donation funnels, or if you have a special request for how your gift is used, you can personally reach out to us at rubyranchbarn@gmail.com or call us directly.
Thank you for believing in this dream, for helping it grow, and for being a true changemaker in the lives of our children and community.
Checks are welcomed too! As squarespace takes a portio
