Champion a Program That Speaks to Your Heart
Make your impact personal by sponsoring a program that aligns with your values.
Whether your heart is drawn to supporting youth in crisis, helping families heal from trauma, or empowering young people through job readiness, you can choose to sponsor a specific Idaho Youth Ranch program that resonates with your mission. Each program transforms lives—and your sponsorship provides the fuel to keep that transformation going.
Let's match your passion with a program that changes lives.
Residential Center for Healing & Resilience
Support Idaho's youth with access to high-quality, long-term residential care. The Residential Center for Healing & Resilience is the first and only accredited long-term psychiatric residential facility for youth in Idaho. Since opening in 2023, we've helped facilitate healing for Idaho's youth from north to south—and there are ongoing projects, special projects, and daily care needs your support can meet.
Counseling & Therapy
Help kids transform trauma into trust. Idaho Youth Ranch provides trauma-informed outpatient mental health and equine-assisted therapy for youth and families across the state—in person and through Virtual Therapy. Led by master's-level clinicians, these evidence-based services help young people overcome anxiety, depression, trauma, and more. Your sponsorship ensures no child has to face crisis alone.
Hays House
Emergency shelter for Idaho's youth and respite care for families needing support, Hays House offers a safe place when there's nowhere else to turn. It's the Treasure Valley's only 24/7 emergency shelter for unaccompanied youth ages 9–17—with 18 beds, on-site therapy, and round-the-clock care providing immediate shelter, safety, and stability during a young person's most vulnerable moments.
YouthWorks!
Equipping the next generation for success! YouthWorks empowers young people ages 14–24 with the skills, confidence, and real-world experience they need to thrive in the workforce. Through paid internships, personalized coaching, and career readiness training, participants gain the tools to build a brighter future—starting now.
Adoptions
Creating forever families through compassion and care. Idaho Youth Ranch provides adoption services that honor the needs of every child, birth parent, and adoptive family. With individualized plans, ethical practices, and lifelong support, our team walks alongside families throughout the adoption journey—from first conversations to future milestones.
Alumni Association & Scholarships
Once part of our family, always part of our mission. The Alumni & Scholarships Program creates a lifelong network of support for anyone who has participated in our services. From emergency assistance to mentorship and career guidance, this program helps ensure every young person we serve knows they are never alone.
Visibility for Your Business, Impact for Idaho's Youth
When you partner with Idaho Youth Ranch, your brand gains more than exposure—it becomes part of a mission that changes lives. Our statewide network of thrift stores forms a large part of the backbone of our organization, directly funding life-changing programs for Idaho's kids. Your sponsorship dollars don't just go toward visibility—they power therapy, shelter, and support for youth in crisis.
Our stores also provide affordable goods to Idaho families and promote sustainability by keeping thousands of items out of landfills each year—making your partnership not only powerful, but purposeful.

Thrift Store Round-Up Matching
Boost your brand with every transaction—and multiply the impact for Idaho's kids.
Customers at our thrift stores are invited to round up their purchases to the nearest dollar as a donation to Idaho Youth Ranch. When your business matches those round-up donations, you double the support reaching youth in crisis—while gaining repeated brand exposure in a trusted, community-centered environment. You choose the store location(s) that align with your brand, and we'll recognize your business in-store, at point-of-sale, and through digital signage.
Full Truck Wraps
Your brand. Our shared mission. One rolling billboard for hope.
Our fleet of donation pickup trucks travels thousands of miles each month across Idaho. By sponsoring a full vehicle wrap, your business gains bold, daily visibility in high-traffic neighborhoods, business districts, and store locations. Each truck helps collect donated goods that fund our youth programs—meaning your sponsorship directly supports kids receiving critical services like therapy, shelter, and job training. It's not just advertising—it's impact in motion.
Matching Support for Direct Mail Appeals
Match donations and magnify trust. Show Idaho you care.
Throughout the year, Idaho Youth Ranch sends direct mail appeals to thousands of households—sharing real stories of youth who've found healing through our programs. When your business matches donations from one of these appeals, you inspire greater generosity from donors and show your brand's commitment to Idaho's kids. You'll be recognized prominently in the mailing: "Your gift will be DOUBLED thanks to our community partner [Your Business Name]."
Donate a Raffle or Live Auction Item
Your brand. Their future. One unforgettable gift that inspires hope.
When your business donates a live auction or raffle item to Idaho Youth Ranch, you're fueling life-changing support for Idaho's youth. Your generosity becomes a powerful moment in the room: a bidding war that raises essential funds for therapy, shelter, and job training. Your donated experience, service, or product sparks joy for the winner, excitement for the crowd, and hope for the kids whose lives are changed because of you.
Sponsor a Special Event
Celebrate hope. Champion healing. Help change lives.
Throughout the year, Idaho Youth Ranch hosts premier fundraising events that bring together generous hearts and community leaders who believe every child deserves a chance to heal, grow, and thrive.
As a Special Event Sponsor, your business will be front and center—recognized before, during, and after the event through signage, programs, digital promotion, and in-person recognition. Your support directly helps fund critical services like therapy, crisis shelter, and mentorship for Idaho's youth.
There's a wonderful event to get involved in, all year long!
