THE GIVING WALL
At the heart of the Ranch, The Giving Wall will honor those whose generosity built this sanctuary. Each name, etched onto the wall, will remain on display for generations as a permanent mark of gratitude. A leather-bound book will rest nearby, featuring photos of donors and their families, and in their own words, the reasons they chose to give. For every recipient who turns its pages, it will be a chance to see the faces and read the voices behind the mission—a reminder that their restoration was made possible by people who believe in them.
Those honored here will have collectively contributed 15% of our overall project budget—an investment not only in construction, but in sustainability, legacy, and long-term impact. Every SOF recipient will pass this wall—a quiet but powerful reminder of those who believed in their worth before ever knowing their name.
In addition to supporting direct construction and civil costs, gifts to The Giving Wall will help establish a board-designated operational reserve explicitly dedicated to the Ranch. Unlike our existing Task Force program reserves, this fund will provide critical flexibility to support fixed asset investments, construction-related expenses, and long-term operational sustainability once the project is complete.These funds are vital as we prepare for the projected 414% increase in recipients over the next nine years. They will also serve as a safeguard, protecting Big Sky Bravery from short-term project risks, unexpected construction costs, and ensuring uninterrupted progress over the multi-year development of the Ranch.
The Giving Wall offers a range of recognition levels to welcome a broader community of supporters into this lasting legacy. Multiple gifts at each tier of giving are currently sought:
$1,000,000
$500,000 (x2)
$250,000 (x3)
$100,000 (x5)
$75,000 (x7)
$50,000 (x10)
$25,000 (x20)
$10,000 (x30)
