Philanthropy: “Voluntary action for the public good.”. It’s action (something is actually being done, whether it’s service or an investment of money) and it’s all directed “for the public good”. 
​
Why philanthropy for Manning?  Regardless of where you live, your impact or legacy can live on here!

The city doesn't just plow streets and send water bills.  The City is currently spearheading several very large projects that are capital-campaign based.  Those projects include: 

     *Trails:  Over $3.6 million of trail segments are planned.  Local donations allow matching funds for state, federal, and foundation grants.  The 2018 project involves paving an underpass under Highway 141.
     *Hillside Splash:  Fundraising is underway for a large, outdoor water addition on the West side of the Rec Center.  The first project will involve an outdoor pool--complete with zero-entry and water toys.  Future phase plans call for two large water slides and a splash pad area. 
     *Trestle Park:  The newly-forming park near the historic railroad trestle is taking shape thanks to the generosity of the Manning area community.  Phase I--a train kiosk, Iowa sculpture, trail, and depot-style shelter house--is nearly complete.  The park is rolling right into Phase II fundraising for boat/river access, outdoor nature play areas, artwork, and outdoor learning environment.  Local fundraising is used to match state grants to fully leverage donations.     

People wishing to donate are encouraged to consider donating to a project above, to give department-based general donations (i.e. donation to the fire department, police department, parks, etc), or to give specific donations for new items.  Examples of the later include donors that have bought a bench for Trestle Park, a basketball hoop for the city park, or AED machines for emergency response crews. 

Donations made to the City are tax deductible.  Please contact City Hall if you need a receipt.
