It is located in the Foundation Office at our Minot campus. If you have supported us in any of these ways and would like your name placed on the wall, please call 1-800-344-0957.

It’s good for us to help others who need it. I want my giving to go to an organization that shows people about God, and how God can help you.
There is so much power in giving back. People don’t realize that until they’ve experienced it. When you give, you give with hope that you will make a difference.
The Ranch gives children a home, and kindness. You can work with young people, whatever their problems may be, and get them going on the right road again.
All kids have challenges, but some really have tough ones. The Ranch gives these kids something to hold onto—faith, a way of life, a way of working with people—and gets them out of the hole they are in.
Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch is registered 501(c)(3) organization. All gifts are tax-deductible as allowed by law.
