How You Can Help

Donate

All donations help The Friends of Manito enhance the beauty and functionality of Manito Park for present and future generations. We are a non-profit charity and with your tax-deductible donation you join our growing community of people who love and care for Spokane’s treasure.

Memorial Fund

Giving through our memorial program is a wonderful way to remember a loved one and offer the opportunity to enhance the park through specific gifts, such as a tree or memorial bench. All memorial donations of $100 and above are recognized with an engraved plate that is mounted on a plaque displayed in the entry of Gaiser Conservatory. For more information about memorial donations, email us.

Endowment Fund

Responding to the need to fund ongoing park operations and maintenance, The Friends of Manito has established The Friends of Manito Endowment Fund at the Innovia Foundation to support ongoing park operations, maintenance, and programming. Over time, the endowment will fund a significant portion of the annual operating costs of Manito Park, ensuring that it remains an asset and local treasure for generations.
