Your monetary donations make a difference in the lives of those we serve.
Manahan strives to move the individuals forward! Everyone should be able experience a baseball game with the Mud Hens, go to dinner and view a movie, expand their horizons through art classes at the Toledo Museum of Art, Copper Moon Studios and Lourdes University, learn about the history of early American settlers at Sauder Village or spend a day at Cedar Point. The individuals at Manahan should be immersed in and experience the community just as you do! These life experiences are possible with your support. |

A one-of-a-kind program in our area is our Inclusive Miles Running Club. Thanks to a grant from the Toledo Roadrunner Club mentors are training runners of all ages and abilities. They then go on to compete in local 5K races and marathons.
Each year we also use funds from donations to purchase Christmas gifts for the individuals who live here, some of whom have no remaining family to celebrate the holidays with and participate in gift exchanges.

The Donor Bill of Rights
Philanthropy is based on voluntary action for the common good. It is a tradition of giving and sharing that is primary to the quality of life. To ensure that philanthropy merits the respect and trust of the general public, and that donors and prospective donors can have full confidence in the nonprofit organizations and causes they are asked to support, we declare that all donors have these rights:
I. To be informed of the organization's mission, of the way the organization intends to use donated resources, and of its capacity to use donations effectively for their intended purposes.
II. To be informed of the identity of those serving on the organization's governing board, and to expect the board to exercise prudent judgment in its stewardship responsibilities.
III. To have access to the organization's most recent financial statements.
IV. To be assured their gifts will be used for the purposes for which they were given.
V. To receive appropriate acknowledgement and recognition.
VI. To be assured that information about their donation is handled with respect and with confidentiality to the extent provided by law.
VII. To expect that all relationships with individuals representing organizations of interest to the donor will be professional in nature.
VIII. To be informed whether those seeking donations are volunteers, employees of the organization or hired solicitors.
IX. To have the opportunity for their names to be deleted from mailing lists that an organization may intend to share.
X. To feel free to ask questions when making a donation and to receive prompt, truthful and forthright answers.
