Before Boulderwood Animal Sanctuary becomes a place filled with animals, there is quieter work happening.
Preparing the land.Building the foundation.Creating something that will last.
This January, we’re opening Founding Roots — a monthly giving circle for those who want to help build Boulderwood from the ground up.
Founding Roots is about the beginning. It’s for the people who believe in slow, intentional work and want to be part of creating a sanctuary rooted in care, patience, and long-term stewardship.
What Is the Founding Roots Campaign?
Founding Roots is a January-only opportunity to become a foundational supporter of Boulderwood Animal Sanctuary through monthly giving.
Monthly donations help support the essential, behind-the-scenes work that must happen before animals arrive, including:
Preparing and caring for the land
Building infrastructure and safe spaces
Establishing veterinary readiness for future rescues
Creating a stable foundation for long-term animal care
This campaign is intentionally limited to January so it remains meaningful and connected to the very beginning of Boulderwood’s story.

The Founding Member Wall
All Founding Roots supporters will be honored on a permanent Founding Member Wall at the sanctuary.
This wall will recognize the people who helped plant the roots of Boulderwood — before the rescues, before the shelters, and before the sanctuary was fully formed. It’s a lasting symbol of the community that believed in this mission from the very beginning.
Not Ready for Monthly Giving?
If monthly support isn’t the right fit, we also offer a simple $5 “Buy Boulderwood a Coffee” option for one-time or casual support.
Every contribution — no matter the size — helps support the daily work of building this sanctuary, and we’re deeply grateful for all forms of support.
An Invitation to Belong
Founding Roots isn’t about urgency or pressure. It’s about belonging.
It’s an invitation to help build something meaningful, steady, and lasting — together.
If this speaks to you, we’d love to have you as part of the roots.
Thank you for being here, for believing in this work, and for helping Boulderwood take its first steps.
With gratitude,
Elisha
Boulderwood Animal Sanctuary
