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.

You’re not just funding a cause—you’re personally championing hope, healing, and resilience for children and families across Idaho.

Let’s match your passion with a program that changes lives.

Residential Center for Healing & Resilience

Support Idaho's most vulnerable youth with access to high-quality, long-term residential care.

The Idaho Youth Ranch Residential Center for Healing & Resilience is the first and only accredited long-term psychiatric residential facility for youth in Idaho. Previously, Idaho's vulnerable youth would be sent out of state for treatment, only adding to their trauma. Our vision successfully brought our kids home! Since its opening in 2023, we've helped facilitate healing in Idaho's youth from North Idaho to South. There are ongoing projects, special projects, and daily care needs at the Residential Center. We would love to tell you more about what your support of this program can offer to Idaho's youth. Learn More.

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—both in person and through TeleMental Health. Led by master’s-level clinicians, these services offer evidence-based therapies in safe, accessible environments, helping young people overcome anxiety, depression, trauma, and more. Your sponsorship ensures that no child has to face crisis alone. Learn More.

Hays House

Emergency shelter for Idaho's youth and respite care for Idaho's families needing support, Hays House offers a safe place when there's nowhere else to turn. Hays House is 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, Hays House provides immediate shelter, safety, and stability for runaway and homeless youth—often during their most vulnerable moments. Learn More.

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. Learn More.

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 a focus on 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 Idaho Youth Ranch Alumni & Scholarships Program creates a lifelong network of support for anyone who has participated in our services. Whether a graduate of residential care, outpatient therapy, Hays House, or another program, alumni are welcomed into a caring community that continues to walk alongside them in life’s next chapters. From emergency assistance to mentorship and career guidance, this program helps ensure every young person we serve knows they are never alone. Learn More.

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 Social Enterprise thrift stores forms a large part of the backbone of our organization, directly funding life-changing programs for Idaho’s kids. This means 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.

Make your marketing dollars work harder with meaningful exposure across our stores, events, and digital platforms—all while aligning your business with a trusted Idaho nonprofit.

Thrift Store Round-Up Matching

Boost your brand with every transaction—and multiply the impact for Idaho’s kids.

Through our Round-Up Matching Program, 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 audience, and we’ll recognize your business in-store, at point-of-sale, and through digital signage, thanking you for matching customer generosity.

This is a powerful way to show your community values—and drive foot traffic to your business from local shoppers who care.

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—serving as moving billboards with massive reach. 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.

Your logo, message, and brand will travel the state, tied to purpose and seen by thousands of Idahoans each week. 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 overcome trauma with help from our programs. When your business commits to matching 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, with messaging like:
"Your gift will be DOUBLED thanks to our community partner [Your Business Name]."

This is a proven way to increase response rates, maximize donations, and build positive brand awareness among a deeply engaged audience.

Let your customers and community know: you’re not just doing business here—you’re making a difference.

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. Whether it’s an elegant gala, a family-friendly gathering, or a mission-focused luncheon, your support directly helps fund critical services like therapy, crisis shelter, and mentorship for Idaho’s most vulnerable youth.

These events are more than fundraisers—they’re celebrations of the life-changing impact we create together.

Join us in making each moment matter—for your brand, for your community, and for the future of Idaho’s kids.

Employee Engagement That Makes a Difference

Inspire your team. Impact your community.

Give your employees more than a team-building experience—give them a way to create real change. Through employee engagement opportunities with Idaho Youth Ranch, your staff can connect, collaborate, and give back to Idaho youth in meaningful ways.

From volunteering together in our thrift stores, to organizing donation drives, to participating in hands-on service projects that directly support our programs, your team will build morale, strengthen relationships, and leave a lasting impact on their community.

We’ll work with you to customize an experience that aligns with your company culture and values—making it easy to combine purpose with participation.

When your team gives back, they gain so much more. Let’s build something meaningful together—for your company and for Idaho’s kids.
