Donor alert

Donor alert: An anonymous donor has offered Mano a Mano a challenge grant. The donor is offering a dollar-for-dollar match to continue building schools, teacher housing and sanitation projects with a $700,000 budget over seven years. Mano a Mano's cost to construct a clinic is approximately $20,000, plus staffing costs of about $10,500 per year. A gift for clinic
construction will trigger a 3 to 1 match from the donor!!

Mano a Mano is an exceptionally frugal organization, stretching every dollar it receives. Our combined administrative and fundraising cost in the U.S. totals less than 2% of our expenses (based on 2004 audited financial statement).

We also meet all standards established by the Minnesota Charities Review Council. The Council sets guidelines for public disclosure, governance, financial activity and fundraising, then analyzes the performance of Minnesota charities against these standards. As the Charities Review Council puts it, approval is a way "to demonstrate responsibility, integrity and transparency to constituents."
