The Ranger’s founding purpose sought to promote sustainable and vibrant community development through land conservation and providing outdoor recreation opportunities for future generations. Through partnerships, including with the nonprofits Alliance for Vermont Communities, Vermont Adaptive and Little Bellas and community resources including Royalton Radio, Tunbridge Recreation and Royalton Rescue, The Ranger has donated more than $30,000 to projects that meet the event’s mission.

 The organizers of The Ranger seek to continue this philosophy, while focusing charitable giving on three specific values: stewardship for rural and agricultural land; access to outdoor recreation; and sustaining small communities.

 Through working with the communities of Tunbridge, Royalton, Strafford and Sharon, commonly referred to as the Four Town Region, The Ranger will identify urgent and long term needs within the region on an annual basis and target donations accordingly to areas that align with the event’s charitable giving values.
