All funds will go to the TSCRA Special Ranger Foundation.
The Special Ranger Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, opens tax-deductible gifting to the special rangers, ensuring high-quality training and equipment that will provide these peace officers with cutting edge investigative tools.
The special rangers need to purchase additional radios, crime scene investigation kits, electronic investigative programs, and updated vehicle and training equipment. Special rangers are required to obtain continuing education, which is customized to their specific investigative and safety needs. This training and its required travel and accommodations come at a high cost, solely dependent on the silent auction and funds donated to the Special Ranger Foundation.
Special rangers do not receive federal, state or local funding, nor does the TSCRA budget provide any equipment or training. Your support is essential to their continued operation and to help maintain the excellent level of protection and assistance the TSCRA Special Rangers are known for.
The purchase will not be tax deductible, although the purchaser should be able to deduct with regular farm and ranch materials.
