2024 Annual Report

Mission:  Stillwater Ranch honors Veterans, Servicemembers, and their families by providing resources and activities in a scenic, supportive environment to improve their quality of life. 

 

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED SINCE 2014!

 

Each year, I'm astonished by the sheer number and diversity of people who pass through the gates of Stillwater Ranch. They arrive with different purposes: participants, volunteers, ranch tour guests, donors, business and organizational partners, and even the simply curious.

 

2024 was no exception. We welcomed roughly 180 unique individuals to the ranch, many of whom visited multiple times throughout the year. Additionally, we extended our impact to several dozens more Veterans and their families through off-property adventures and financial support for urgent needs.

 

Here are just a few of the highlights from 2024:

 

• 37 Ranch tours, hosting 55 attendees
• 9 off-property adventures, drawing in 75 participants
• A shooting event with 24 participants
• A week-long Veteran retreat with 11 attendees from all over the United States
• Rocky Mountain Young Marines overnight encampment, involving 15 participants
• Monthly Veteran campfires, with attendance ranging from 6 to 35 people
• $11,000 spent for critical Veteran needs, supporting dozens of Veterans and their families
• 3 business meetings, bringing together 43 attendees
• 6 community events introducing Stillwater Ranch to the Northern Colorado community
• Hosted our very first Veteran Ham Radio Field Day
• Collaborations with 7 other Veteran organizations to expand resource offerings for our heroes
