35 for 35 Legacy Challenge

We’re celebrating our 35th anniversary since our founding in 1990 with a challenge for our supporters: secure MANNA’s future by including MANNA in your long-term financial plans. Our 35 for 35 Challenge is looking for 35 people to name MANNA in their wills, estate plans, or other long-term financial vehicles. For each legacy pledge, a group of generous donors will make a $1,000 cash donation to MANNA.

How to join the 35 for 35 Challenge:

Make a new or increased legacy gift to MANNA through our FreeWill portal or by sending us a completed copy of our gift intention form. Types of legacy gifts that qualify for the 35 for 35 Challenge include:

  • Will or trust
  • Retirement plan beneficiary designation
  • Life insurance beneficiary designation
  • Charitable Gift Annuity
  • Charitable Remainder Trust
  • Charitable Lead Trust

Coinciding with the start of National Make-a-Will Month, we’re running the 35 for 35 Challenge from August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2026. Click either of the buttons below to get started with your legacy pledge to MANNA:
