Manley foundation has helped us the past few years in scholarshipping individuals with disabilities. They get riding lessons at reduced rates or at no cost. We serve children, adults and veterans with social, pychological and physical disabilities. Organzations like Manley help fill in the gaps in our endeaver to fundraise for our clients so they can become the "best they can be". "There is something about a horse that is good for the inside of a man" is well said by Winston Churchill. One of our clients who is scholarshipped is a boy named Issac. He has cerebral palsy and other developmental disabilities. When he came here at 4 years of age, he could not sit up or walk. His grandparents bring him here every other week for a riding lesson. They come from Silverton, Oregon, at least one hours drive. Soon after starting his lessons, he began to sit up on his own. As time went on he was able to walk with assistance. At age eight, he began to walk. Doctors never thought he would walk. He was not in any other therapies other than horseback riding. Small miracles to big miracles, Manley can take some of the credit for making it happen.
My experience with Manley Foundation stretches over the last 13 years. Their reach and passion for helping others has always been incredible to me. For such a small Foundation they do enormous good, wether it be through direct donations to, or helping to raise the visibility of organizations. Full kudos to this tiny engine that could, they are an inspiration.
It has been a privilege and honor to work with the board and officers of Manley Foundation for many years. The high level of integrity as well as the genuine concern for the needs of others in often devastating circumstances far exceeds a merely corporate approach to charitable giving. Each request is carefully considered and reviewed to maximize the impact of the grants, and the rewards of seeing what even small contributions can make to a deserving organization are immeasurable.
It's been my sincere honor and privilege to serve Manley Foundation for most of my adult career. I have the good fortunate of serving alongside an all volunteer Board of Directors who shares a passion for assisting small, often overlooked organizations. Despite being very small, we’ve succeeded in helping people on local, national, and international levels since our inception in 1989. Together, we continue our work to make a positive difference in the world around us, and to reach as many people as possible. We remain exceptional stewards of our donors’ funds, keep our overhead low, and ensure that funding reaches those in need. I look forward to serving Manley Foundation in its mission to reach those most in need for many years to come, and extend my heartfelt thanks to those who make our work possible.
I cannot recommend a more worthy charity. I’m pleased with the level of professionalism and communication I received from Manley Foundation. Despite not being able to donate as much as I would have liked, they were very grateful for my donation and kept me informed on how it was being used. It’s very warming to know that I’m playing a role, however small, in assisting the people that receive Manley Foundation's help. I hope to be able to donate to them again this year.
When our fire rescue company needed funds to put electricity in our station, Manley came to OUR rescue. Manley paid for a licensed electrical contractor to completely wire and install lighting in our rural fire station. Our community is tiny and could not find the money for this. Electricity! That led to running water and flush toilets! What a huge difference Manley Foundation made for our responders and our community!
Thank you!
As a donor, it’s important to me that my funds reach programs and people in need. I found that Manley Foundation not only ensures donations they receive are reaching people and communities in need, it also stretches each dollar to reach many different organizations. Manley also goes a step further and, based on its website and other areas I’ve found, they continue to advocate for those they help. It’s nice to send one donation and reach/help so many different people.
While looking into potential charities Manley Foundation caught my attention as a small organized witht a long reach. I'm amazed by the scope of their giving and charitable work.
Thank you to the Manley Foundation for supporting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Their generous gift is helping St. Jude speed discoveries from our research labs to doctors and patients everywhere. And because one child saved at St. Jude means thousands more saved around the world, the Manley Foundation is helping St. Jude make a global impact in the fight to save precious lives. The Foundation has been wonderful to work with. Their passion and dedication to the organizations they support is genuine, and their assistance is truly making a difference in the lives of St. Jude children.
The Manley Foundation does not just support charities financially, they spread the message of the causes they support. By looking at their website, anyone can see how dedicated they are to their beneficiaries - the pictures and descriptions tell wonderful stories. Their passion for helping others is clear in every interaction I have had with the foundation. They are truly making a difference in the lives of others!
The Manley Foundation has greatly helped our work at the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine, a 501(c)3 nonprofit research laboratory.
Our work on advanced laboratory methods for medical diagnosis and on the molecular clocks that time biological processes depends entirely upon foundation and personal contributions.
Medical and biochemical research depends, in very substantial part, upon the efforts of scientists who work independently in laboratories throughout the United States. It is critically important that these scientists, in order to pursue their best ideas, have the help of wisely administered foundations. The Manley Foundation is superbly filling this role.

The Manley Foundation is a wonderfully unique Non Profit. The goal of Manley is to affect lives and organizations that will use financial resources for the direct benefit of the situation in need. I have personally met with, and been associated with, past and current board members as well as Manley's current President and I can say, without any doubt, their ethics and their passion are exemplary. Manley Foundation is very diverse and yet always very discerning regarding the people and organizations they assist. If a donor wants their money used efficiently and effectively by the recipient, the Manley Foundation is the nonprofit vehicle to make the difference.
Thanks Manley Foundation for your support of Sisters Of The Road and for the good work you do supporting small, local organizations!

Thank you to the Manley Foundation for helping to prescribe JoyRx!

The Manley Foundation has helped us in the past and is truly a pleasure to partner with. Their responses to questions are fast and they are always positive. "Helpful" is another word to describe them. "Caring" is another.
The Manley Foundation is an important resource for agencies that provide services to those in need. They took time to understand the services we provide and how important a grant can be in assuring clients who don't have any place else to go for help can get it at our organization. They are friendly and interested.
We are pleased be partners with The Manley Foundation for the past four years. Their donation to India Partners in 2010 helped provide malaria nets for poor children, widows and lepers in rural villages of India who could not afford to purchase them, even at just $10 each. The most effective treatment for malaria is prevention!
The Manley Foundation truly cares about the organizations it serves. The Manley Foundation values our work, as well as their own, and has helped us provide a safe, loving home for young moms and babies in need.
Manley Foundation is such a caring Foundation with a true desire to help us who help others. They give the personal approach without making you feel as if you are communicating with someone only through paper. I sincerely thank them for all their efforts to try to help us as a very struggling small organization. THANK YOU MANLEY.
