Thanks to our donors, board, and staff’s commitment to community service, we provided over $120,000 in financial assistance a year.

Financial assistance is available on a limited basis, by request, for all youth and families with financial need. Applications will be thoughtfully considered on a case-by-case basis and we will notify you as soon as possible of your assistance amount.  

When a family participates in Connolly Ranch Education Center's early childhood or school-age programs, they become part of a community that is rooted in environmental stewardship and social responsibility. We believe it is important to make our quality education programs accessible for anyone who wants to participate. Economic diversity is crucial to fostering a healthy environment and enhances the students' learning experience. Our financial assistance program allows us to include families from a wide range of economic circumstances. Every effort is made to provide aid to the maximum number of families with financial hardships so that their children can make lasting connections to nature and experience our seasonal educational programs that are offered in Spanish and English.
