Other Ways to Give

A gift to Manhattan Youth is a way for you and your loved ones to express your concern for the future of our community, your desire to help our community's children and families, and  your confidence in our ability to effectively identify and address our community's needs.

Some forms of giving may be more advantageous for you depending on the financial and life circumstances of you or your family, but every gift is a philanthropic act and is deeply appreciated. You can begin planning your gift by emailing us at giving at manhattanyouth dot org

Giving Other than Cash
