Support the Barn

Every gift to The Big Red Barn funds field trips, education programs, and the upkeep of a working farm — so the next group of fourth-graders can learn where their food comes from. Your gift funds the classroom.

Ways to Give

Give by PayPal, Venmo, or card — one-time, monthly, or yearly. However you give, it all goes to the same place: keeping the farm open and the classroom running.

One-Time Gift

A single gift, given in one tap, with an automatic tax receipt sent to your inbox. Give what feels right.

Some gifts go further than you'd think — many employers match charitable donations dollar for dollar. Ask your company whether they'll match your gift to the barn, and double your impact.

Other ways to help

Giving isn't the only way to keep the classroom open. Volunteer your time at a field trip or workday, or come out to a fundraiser — every hand and every guest makes a difference.

Your gift keeps the classroom open.

Land farmed since the 1850s, now teaching young people who know little about farming and ranching. Your support is what keeps the gates open.
