Examples of help

"I have my service dog with me plus his son in training and we spend an hour every day taking a long walk around the lake at the Fairgrounds. Not possible without the new chair. Thank you to all who made it possible for me to get out and enjoy life!"

About Us

Mission Statement

Friends of Man, the charitable arm of the Institute for the New Man, gives help to people who find themselves in a situation where they have nowhere else to turn. It may be an elderly person on a fixed income, a working family whose child is struck by severe illness, an accident victim, a disabled person, or a schoolchild whose family can't afford basic needs.

The kind of help given by Friends of Man depends on the need. Our flexibility in this respect is unusual and allows us to be able to help where other resources cannot.

Friends of Man gives the donor the opportunity to really help others because every donation is used 100% to help people. No money is taken out for anything else.

There are no salaries. Directors, officers, and more than 30 vounteers give their time and skill without receiving a salary. The volunteers also pay all the costs (capital and administrative) of running the organization through the Institute. Friends of Man is thus able to use every donation 100% for its charitable purposes.

Friends of Man is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization registered and in good standing with the IRS.
