Support The Bishop's Ranch

The Ranch is designed to serve those who serve, and acts to bring a greater sense of community and personal growth to those who visit.  By supporting the Ranch, you are supporting an enrichment process for hundreds of groups and over 6,000 people of all ages each year.  The Ranch belongs to the thousands of guests and supporters who make it a sacred place of reflection and renewal.

Thank you so much for your support and your understanding that The Bishop’s Ranch is a self-supporting retreat center.   The direct daily costs of operating the Ranch are paid with guest fees, but the full cost of maintaining the Ranch and providing its programs and services is much higher than the income generated by those fees.  Donations make up the difference between fee income and the actual cost of stewardship.  The Ranch is independent of the Diocesan budget.  Donations provide the funds for capital improvements, major repairs, scholarships and program support.  Without your generous contributions, this unique center would not be able to continue to be “a place where lives are changed” for all members of our community.

Thank you for your support.  The Bishop’s Ranch is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.  Contributions are tax deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law.  Tax ID #68-0098783.
