Case Study: Providence Ranch Ministries achieves streamlined administration and clearer reporting with Aplos

Providence Ranch Ministries - Customer Case Study

Providence Ranch Ministries, founded in 2008 and run by Pamela and Randy Upgren, is a small rural nonprofit offering mentoring, sheltering, animal-assisted and outdoor activities in a Christian setting for youth who otherwise lack access to horses and adult mentorship. With limited resources, administrative and reporting demands, and ambitions to expand camps, one-on-one mentoring, and community outreach, the ranch needed a simple way to manage donations and program information.

They implemented Aplos, a customizable nonprofit management tool that was easy to set up and use, enabled PayPal donations through their website, and produced clear printouts for board members and state regulators. The solution met their administrative needs, freed time for program delivery, and supported steady program growth—strong summer camp responses, increasing interest in individual mentoring, and plans for expanded events and partnerships.
