Before the Year Ends — From One Volunteer Board to You
Dear friend, We don't have a development director. We don't have a grant writer. We don't have a communications staff. What we have is a board of nine volunteers, a $64,000 annual budget, and 120 kids who come through our studio programs every year.
Pine Ridge is the kind of nonprofit that exists because people like you decided it should. Every dollar of our operating revenue comes from individual donors — no foundation grants, no government contracts, no corporate underwriting. Just folks in the valley who believe eleven-year-olds should have a place to throw clay on Tuesday afternoons. Before December 31, we need to raise $14,000 to close 2026 in the black. That's it — no stretch goal, no capital campaign attached, just the unglamorous operating dollars that keep the studio door open and the kiln running.
Your gift of any size, before year-end, keeps us open.
