Foundation Purpose

Contributions from our friends and supporters provide approximately 30 – 40% of the funds required to meet our total annual operating expenditures. We are extremely grateful for their generous support. Through the foresight of Cal Farley and his Board of Directors, the remaining funds required to operate are available through the Cal Farley's Boys Ranch Foundation.

With a solid financial foundation, Cal Farley's is able to continue to operate independently without relying upon federal or state government support, offer high quality services to carry out our mission, and provide the financial stability needed to fulfill our long-term commitments to children and families.

When Cal Farley's accepts a child for placement, we make a promise to provide a home for the child through high school graduation. Depending on the child's age when accepted, he or she may remain for as little as one year, or live with us for as long as 14 or 15 years. Many of those children come to us without family, or family resources, to sustain them. College scholarships and other alumni support are also available.

The Foundation, and the stability it provides, is one of our greatest strengths. As a donor, you can be assured that when you give to Cal Farley's, we will be here for many years as we continue our important work with children and families.
