What Is BlackSky
Where purpose meets land.
For supporters
Every donation helps military families and survivors of domestic violence keep beloved animals safe while rebuilding their lives. Support also sustains forest restoration, wildfire prevention, and watershed preservation.
Giving here is not transactional. It continues a legacy of compassion, resilience, and quiet strength.
For the land, community, and animals
Each gift helps restore the heart of Colorado, supports local ranchers, tradespeople, and conservation partners, and directly funds the care of rescued dogs, goats, and the wider ecosystem around them.
BlackSky exists to prove that kindness and stewardship still have a place in modern life.

BlackSky sits in the foothills of South Cheyenne Canyon just minutes from downtown Colorado Springs. It offers a rare balance of wilderness and convenience, making it accessible for supporters, volunteers, and retreat guests while still feeling fully immersed in the landscape.
Rates
BlackSky remains private by design.
Partnerships begin at $50,000 annually and connect supporters to a working ranch, a living ecosystem, and a mission built around restoration, resilience, and care. BlackSky does not operate as a single-activity booking site. Visits are built around contribution, connection, and purpose.
