As we celebrate 100 years of the Dude Ranchers’ Association, we honor the generations who built this legacy while investing in those who will carry it forward. Every gift helps ensure that the traditions, landscapes, and values of the American West remain strong for the next hundred years.

WyoGives 2026: The Power of One Gift. The Strength of One Hundred Years.

On July 15, our dude ranch community comes together for WyoGives, a 24-hour online giving event available in all locations and all time zones.

This year is especially meaningful as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Dude Ranchers’ Association. Since 1926, the DRA has championed the dude ranch experience and helped preserve a uniquely Western way of life. Through the Dude Ranch Foundation, that legacy continues through scholarships, horse safety programs, museum collections and archives, educational outreach, and the preservation of millions of acres of historic ranchlands.

To honor this milestone, we have set a special fundraising goal of $26,000—a tribute to the century of authentic ranch experiences that began in 1926 and are still thriving today.

1926–2026

One Hundred Years of Legacy

Investing in the Next One Hundred

The Power of One Gift. The Strength of One Hundred Years.

The action begins at 12:00 AM MDT on July 15 and continues through 11:59 PM MDT. Throughout the day, we’ll be sharing updates on our progress and celebrating the impact of your generosity.

You can help by making a gift and sharing the Dude Ranch Foundation’s WyoGives page with your family, friends, guests, and colleagues.

Thank you for helping preserve the traditions, stories, landscapes, and values that define the spirit of the West.
