Hello

Dear Community,

At Manos, we are committed to providing children with enriching experiences in art, bilingual education, and outdoor play, creating a space where they can learn, grow, and build community.

We believe that every child should have access to these opportunities, regardless of financial circumstances—which is why we offer financial assistance to families in need.

Currently, 37% of Manos families receive financial support, whether through full or partial tuition assistance or program discounts. However, to continue making our programs accessible, we need your help.

Recently, our rent increased by nearly 40%, significantly impacting our ability to sustain our programs while keeping tuition affordable for families. Additionally, we are committed to paying our teachers a fair salary for San Francisco’s high cost of living, ensuring that the dedicated educators who make Manos special can continue to do what they love.

Your support will help us:

- Foster Creativity – Providing hands-on art experiences that inspire self-expression and imagination.
- Expand Bilingual Education – Offering high-quality Spanish language programs that connect children to language and culture.
- Support Outdoor Learning & Play – Ensuring kids continue to explore, move, and learn in nature at Golden Gate Park.
- Support Our Teachers – Offering fair wages to retain passionate, experienced educators who make a difference in our students' lives.

​

With rising costs, your donation is more crucial than ever to help us continue supporting families, maintaining our programs, and valuing our teachers. Every contribution, big or small, makes a direct impact.

Thank you for being part of the Manos community. With your generosity, we can continue to make a difference in the lives of the children, families, and educators we serve.
