Our First Fundraising Campaign!
As an organization, we are actively working in collaboration with Girl Scouts of New Mexico Trails (GSNMT) to address ongoing concerns, especially to support the significant costs associated with maintaining and improving a camp property, which is why we need your help!
During GSNMT’s Annual Meeting on November 15th, 2025, it was shared that both Rancho and Barker need significant work done in order to bring both camps into a more modern era. While the details of these improvements was not provided, GSNMT estimates the cost to bring Rancho up to date is $1.8 million dollars, and the cost to bring Barker up to date is just short of $900,000 dollars. Because our primary goal in fundraising- at this point- is to help provide the necessary funds to repair out camps, we have set our fundraising goal to be $3 million dollars this holiday season! This will allow us to provide all of the necessary funds to repair both camps, because we know that both are beloved throughout GSNMT.
Here is how you can help:
First and foremost, make a donation! We’ve made this easy to do through our website; you can access the page here: Donate to Rising Trails New Mexico. Please know that even the smallest of donations makes a HUGE difference, and we genuinely appreciate every cent you entrust to us!
Share our fundraising campaign across your social media platforms and encourage your friends and family to donate as well! Because we are in the process of becoming a federally recognized 501(c)4 nonprofit, any contribution is tax deductible as a charitable contribution!
Be on the lookout for future fundraising efforts! We have several ideas in the works!
Continue to support us by sharing our updates!
Raising $3 million dollars is undeniably a HUGE goal, but we truly believe it is possible so long as we work together to change our world! Let’s get to work!
Thank you for supporting our mission and the future of outdoor learning in New Mexico!
