Fueling Dreams, Preserving Tradition
The Western Legacy Fund is dedicated to preserving the heart of the Western industry by supporting its future leaders. In 2025, we’ll award $250 each month to a deserving youth rodeo athlete, association, or group that exemplifies outstanding sportsmanship, financial need, or impactful contributions to keeping the spirit of the West alive. In December, we’ll celebrate this legacy with our 2nd Annual $550 First-Generation Grant. Join us in raising the funds to make this vision a reality and invest in the future of the Western way of life.

What our Grants Support:
Rodeo Fees (entries, fuel, etc)
The Western Legacy Fund helps ease the financial burden of competition fees, ensuring young athletes can pursue their rodeo dreams. We've supported individuals in junior and high school rodeos, qualifiers for the Silver State International Rodeo, Little Britches Rodeo Association members, and more. Your donation makes it possible for the next generation to compete and thrive in the arena.
Schools & Clinics
The Western Legacy Fund also opens doors for young athletes to learn directly from the best in the industry. We've helped students attend clinics with professional rodeo athletes like Judd Leffew, Fallon Taylor, Trula Churchill, and Sankey Pro Rodeo, among many others. These opportunities build skills, confidence, and connections that last a lifetime.
Associations & Clubs
The Western Legacy Fund supports organizations that preserve and promote the rodeo way of life. We've contributed to groups like the California High School Rodeo District 1, Silver State Barrel and Pole Association, gymkhana clubs, and many more. These associations play a vital role in keeping Western traditions alive for future generations
