As a non-profit, church affiliated community; Mennonite Manor welcomes contributions and donations to ensure that all residents receive the same quality care.

We all have a desire to Make a Difference in our world, in our community, in someone's life. Here are some ways you can make a difference when you share with Mennonite Manor.

 

What specific programs can I contribute to?

• Caring Campaign. Initiated in fall 2008, the $250,000 capital "care" campaign will fund the conversation project to provide more assisted living apartments. The biblical mandate to stewardship is at the forefront of a plan to reduce debt financing in favor of funding through the generosity of those in our community who are able to share our commitment to stewardship and caring. Honoring the 35th anniversary of Mennonite Friendship Manor, we invite our friends and neighbors to share with us through gifts of $35 to $35,000. Contributions are payable to Mennonite Manor.

• Continuing Care Fund. This fund helps to defray living costs for those nursing home residents who have outlived their resources.

• Annual Benefit to raise money for the Continuing Care Fund - click here for more information

• Eden Program. The Eden Alternative is the concept of bringing children, plants and animals into the lives of our residents on a continual basis.

• Specific Items. This fund is specific to your preference. A request could be made for your donation to purchase an item on our "Wish List".

• General Fund. Your contribution will help fund daily operations.

Giving Options

• Cash Gifts - Cash Gifts can be given annually, semi-annually, quarterly or monthly and can be invested in our general fund, endowment fund or a special project fund.

• Property Gifts are non-cash gifts such as farm products, real estate, stocks, bonds or life insurance. This type of gift allows you to make a significant contribution while avoiding capital gains and other types of taxes.

• A gift annuity is a partial gift to Mennonite Manor, using cash or marketable security that is invested through Mennonite Foundation. You receive a tax deduction for the initial gift and income for life at a guaranteed rate. The older you are, the higher the payout rate - based on your life expectancy. At your death, Mennonite Manor receives the balance of your initial gift.

• Planned Giving. Since the distribution of your estate is the final act of stewardship, you will want to give careful thought as to how you want to distribute it. You will also want to discover ways to minimize tax implication so there is more to share with your children and the charities that have special meaning for you and to whom you would like to leave a gift.
