The program caters to families with children aged 0-17 years (or older, if they are still attending high school), aiming to foster positive, healthy relationships. Through specialized curriculums, in-home visits, workshops, and a 24-hour crisis intervention hotline, the Stay Together Program provides preventive services at no cost to clients. Its goal is to equip families with the necessary tools for conflict resolution and family skills, enabling them to effectively navigate challenges.In 2024, the Stay Together program served a total of 795 youth clients, serving on average 190 youth monthly through approximately 493 in-home visits per month. The Stay Together program also provided 150 community workshops through our 33-county service area. 100% of families participating in the Stay Together program showed an increase in at least one protective factor. Protective Factors is a research-based framework which identifies five of the most important aspects proven to minimize child abuse and neglect within a familys home. 94% of families showed an increase in all five protective factors following program completion. 1716777 Foster Care and Adoption - High Skys Foster Care & Adoption program provides temporary foster care and permanency through adoption for children who have experienced trauma, abuse, or neglect. High Sky recruits, trains, and licenses families who are willing to open their hearts and homes to children in need. High Sky staff work closely with foster, adoptive, and kinship families to provide on-going training, resources, and continuous support.High Skys Foster Care & Adoption program focused on providing high-quality services and creating a community of hope through foster care and adoption. In 2024, the program supported 27 active foster and adoptive homes, cared for 50 youth, finalized 14 adoptions, and provided 5,329 days of service to children in substitute care. 81% of the youth placed in High Skys foster and adoptive homes experienced successful discharges from their placements. A successful discharge refers to the process of youth transitioning out of the foster care system in a way that sets them up for long-term stability, permanency, and positive life outcomes through family reunification and adoption. This is considered the ideal outcome for a childs time in foster care. 1492355 High Sky Emergency Shelter and Teen Boys Home - The Boys Teen Home offers a supportive and nurturing long-term placement for boys aged 13-17. In this home, specially trained caregivers provide trauma-informed care and behavioral interventions to meet the individual needs of each youth. The Teen Home focuses on creating a home-like atmosphere that allows the youth to experience normal teenage activities, develop life skills, and pursue employment opportunities, all while receiving comprehensive medical, behavioral, and mental healthcare support from dedicated Case Managers. This program has allowed High Sky to provide much-needed support and care for teen boys who have been removed from their homes by CPS. The Teen Home fills a crucial gap in our area, where long-term placements for teen boys with specialized needs are scarce. By recognizing this need and taking action, High Sky is working to ensure that these young individuals have a stable and nurturing environment where they can thrive and heal.High Sky Childrens Ranch operates an Emergency Shelter to provide temporary placement for children in foster care while long-term options are secured. The shelter welcomes children of all ages, ensuring that sibling groups can stay together during this challenging time. Caregivers in the shelter are trained in trauma-informed services to provide nurturing care, stability, and security. Alongside meeting basic needs, the shelter encourages age-appropriate recreational activities, and each child is assigned a Case Manager who oversees their medical, behavioral, and mental healthcare needs, as well as collaborating with schools to support their educational goals and academic progress.Through both campus programs, High Sky Childrens Ranch remains dedicated to offering a safe and caring environment for children in foster care, supporting their emotional wellbeing, personal growth, and overall development. In 2024, the Teen Boys Home provided 1,284 days of service to 9 youth in care, while the Emergency Shelter provided 2,238 days of service to 54 youth in care. 562313 Partnering with Parents and Therapeutic - Our Partnering with Parents and therapeutic programs work with parents who have had their youth removed by CPS; however, reunification is still a viable option. Our program offers supervised and monitored visitations and provides counseling for both the parent, the child and the family unit in our state-of-the-art therapeutic center. In addition to providing parental skill development and education, our program offers bonding with parent and child through art therapy. This allows them to create keepsakes for each other during their separation while the court reviews their progress and makes a decision regarding reunification. PWP helped families navigate through one of the hardest challenges they will ever face - healing their own traumas, addictions, and behavioral challenges to reunify with their children. Many of these parents have their own previous history of trauma and with CPS, thus repeating the cycle of child abuse. 278419 LIFE Aftercare - Our Life AfterCare program works with youth in foster care ages 17-21, that are preparing to leave or have left foster care. We assist the youth with their transition to living independently out on their own. Our case Managers meet with the youth and discuss their individual goals. The Case Managers break down the necessary steps and highlight any potential obstacles and how to avoid them. We then meet regularly to monitor their progress and to set new goals. We have limited funding for each youth to bridge gaps in finances and to help assist them in achieving self-sufficiency. Our program works with youth in the Permian Basin in West Texas and the Concho Valley area and we have a 95% success rate in youth successfully entering the workforce and 91% of our youth are in stable housing as adults living on their own. 50216 Preparation for Adult Living: Life Skills Training - Our PAL classes are designed to teach life skills to youth ages 16 and up that are in foster care. We teach topics such as Money Management, Housing & Transportation, Health & Nutrition, Job Skills, Planning for the Future, and Personal & Interpersonal relationships. We use experiential field trips such as touring Universities and Apartment complexes to enhance the material covered by our expert speakers from the local community. This enables the youth to learn how to utilize resources in their specific community and make connections with individuals and agencies that will continue to benefit the youth. 890948 5986250 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false false true false true false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true 29 0 true 86 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 30 30 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false X HIGH SKY CHILDREN'S RANCH INC 4326947728 8701 W COUNTY RD 60 MIDLAND TX 79707 KELSEE JONES Executive Direc 40.00 0.00 X 102834 0 0 JANETTE WORCESTER Finance Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 87923 0 0 PHILLIP KNIGHT Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 KARI DINGLER Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 COLE BRYAN Past Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JARED BLONG BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 AMANDA ARNOLD Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KERI VAUGHT BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MEGAN BRIGNON Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 HALEY RAGSDALE Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JESSICA LOUDER Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CASEY ZACHRY Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 SHERRIE CARRUTH Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARSHALL EVES Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MITZI PURVIS Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ADAMS DAVENPORT Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOEY GABARDA Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CODY OLDHAM Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 WHITNEY SMITH Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CLAIRE AMES SHAW BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN MAHAFFEY Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PAOLA LUJAN-HAYES Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 AMY YENZER Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RAMES HANNA ALLA Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH W DAVENPORT Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RANDI BURLESON Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CLINT WILLIAMSON Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANNABELLE GARDAPHE Chair Elect 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 KATHARINE KAVANAGH Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ZACK ROYBAL Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 190757 1 false false false BASIN ROOFING & CONSTRUCTION 8220 TX-191 MIDLAND TX 79707 ROOFING 402500 VC3 INC 10325 YOUNGER RD MIDLAND TX 79706 INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 106224 MIDESSA TELEPHONE SYSTEMS INC 2800 LA FORCE BLVD MIDLAND TX 79706 SECURITY & TELEPHONE SVC 110216 3 577305 686040 1977936 3241281 PROGRAM SERVICE REVENUES 2460856 2460856 2460856 115064 115064 0 506781 506781 0 2095 -2095 -2095 -2095 465627 577305 204712 260915 260915 0 0 0 6582802 2458761 882760 0 0 0 0 212602 212602 0 3336525 2898043 353612 84870 0 668837 570877 83068 14892 265567 216663 42507 6397 0 0 50275 9435 40671 169 0 0 0 0 39622 17812 21810 89796 65982 22712 1102 31391 14271 8086 9034 0 1109838 880563 225485 3790 155798 144223 6346 5229 0 0 0 0 903766 725489 172008 6269 0 FOSTER CARE 155826 155826 DIRECT HOUSEHOLD 104919 104919 OTHER 84883 32740 45466 6677 DIRECT CLIENT ASSISTANCE 67118 67118 83774 82289 649 836 7360537 5986250 1213212 161075 1898907 2202649 341899 185696 0 258197 215844 0 0 0 0 77975 260716 19960366 6056412 14708705 13903954 2296127 2271018 0 0 0 0 19581810 19039877 112439 348241 112439 348241 X 19100196 18380180 369175 311456 19469371 18691636 19581810 19039877 -777735 X false true X true true true X 3546631 2912832 1963427 3048367 3241281 14712538 0 0 3546631 2912832 1963427 3048367 3241281 14712538 3493954 11218584 286204 384140 658434 476022 621845 2426645 0 286453 680906 785064 110982 260915 2124320 19263503 0.58240 0.63150 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2735733 79203 -341 2289271 525324 2556004 79577 110671 10519 2735733 2691376 99220 29554 264146 2556004 2747686 69820 3423 129553 2691376 2444963 281400 21323 2747686 1.00000 false false false 19809 19809 15901176 3801460 12099716 2280406 1045735 1234671 223317 162207 61110 1535658 1047010 488648 13903954 X 6101474 6101474 481328 481328 6582802 7565249 204712 204712 7360537 7360537 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
