What they do
The Durango Cowboy Poetry Gathering Had A Very Successful Year In 2025. We Were Able to Re-engage 18 Schools In Our Near By District to Teach Poetry and Art Too Their Students. Over 5,200 Students Participated In Our Educational Programs Throughout The Year, and 11 Schools Participated In Our Poetry and Art Contests Providing Education On The Historical West and Our Western Heritage. We Held Poetry and Art Contests In The Schools and Utilized HS Students to Help Judge The Contests. In The Fall, Performers Held Assemblies At The 18 Schools and Taught Harmonica Classes to Over 310 5th Grade Students. Our Evening and Paid Events Were Very Successful As Was The Parade and Outreach Programs to The Community. Our Two Fundraisers Were Successful As Well.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
