Friends of Man

Unique Giving

Fund-raising for Friends of Man consists of two Updates a year that we send to our donors. Volunteers design the mailing, pay for printing, mailing – and even do the assembly in-house!

Friends of Man is not a typical charity – and here are some of differences that make it unique:

 

  • 100% of donations are used only for charitable assistance.
  • Everyone is a volunteer – no salaries whatsoever.
  • Volunteers pay all administrative costs and expenses for operating the charity.
  • No barrage of solicitations – we update donors only twice a year.
  • Donor information is strictly confidential – no sharing or selling of addresses.

Friends of Man has received many awards and recognition over the decades.  In 1989 Friends of Man was selected to the Denver Post Charity of the Year. And more recently, Friends of Man was honored as a Charity of the Month by the  Better Business Bureau. 

 

But the feedback that means the most to us are the letters of thanks that we receive from recipients about how our help has changed their lives. And we believe that this is what means the most to our donors, too – knowing that their charitable intent has been fulfilled – directly.
