Overview

Mission

Auto Ranch Foundation, Inc. supports continuing education for rural high school graduates.

What it reported doing in 2024

Auto Ranch Foundation, Inc. financially assists high school graduating seniors in agriculture-based rural communities in southwest Idaho and eastern Oregon with their continuing education. Without financial assistance, many of these students would not have the resources to further their education and begin a career in their chosen field. By providing this support, youth in these underserved areas can pursue their education and develop the career skills necessary to become contributing members of their communities. In turn, they will be able to further invest in and contribute to the future development and welfare of these areas. The Foundation has engaged in fundraising efforts since 2019 and awarded scholarships totaling $38,500 in 2024.
