The Mano Foundation makes a large number of modest-to-mid sized grants concentrated on local and regional nonprofits in Oklahoma and Texas, with an emphasis on animal welfare, faith-based outreach, and direct-service organizations serving youth, families, and people in crisis. Grants are often repeat awards to the same organizations, supporting operational/program needs rather than capital campaigns, and the foundation favors hands-on service providers (shelters, rescue groups, rehabilitation centers, ministries, and youth homes).
A $50,000 grant to Brookwood in Georgetown set the high end of The Mano Foundation’s recent giving, and it points to a funder that backs direct-service organizations rather than broad, abstract causes. The foundation’s recent awards cluster around nonprofits that provide shelter, rehabilitation, ministry, and basic support for people and animals in Oklahoma and Texas. Its largest known awards sit alongside repeated support for groups such as Tulsa Cornerstone Assistance Network, Changing Lanes Ministries, and Wild Heart Ranch Wildlife Rescue, showing a pattern of practical, program-level funding. The Mano Foundation also gives to organizations serving youth and families in crisis, including Tulsa Girls’ Home, Foster Village, and Casa De Misercordia. Animal welfare is another clear thread, with grants to rescue and humane organizations in multiple Texas and Oklahoma communities. The recipient list suggests a preference for hands-on providers with direct community contact: ministries, rescue groups, rehabilitation centers, and local assistance nonprofits that deliver services on the ground. That mix gives the foundation a profile of regional, service-oriented grantmaking with a steady emphasis on care, stability, and immediate support.
Animal rescue and humane work is one of the clearest areas in The Mano Foundation’s grant history. In 2025 it gave $30,000 to Pause4paws Inc in Tulsa, $25,000 to Wild Heart Ranch Wildlife Rescue in Claremore, and $18,250 to Blue Dog Rescue in Round Rock. Rehabilitation and medical support also appear in the record. The foundation awarded $25,000 to Ruthe B Cowl Rehabilitation Center in Laredo in 2025 and $12,000 there in 2024, showing continued support for that organization. Faith-based outreach is another recurring theme, with $30,000 to Changing Lanes Ministries in Tulsa in 2025 and $21,500 to Lisa Bein Ministries in Tulsa. The grant list also includes basic-needs and crisis services such as $20,000 to Iron Gate Inc in Tulsa and $20,000 to Bethany House of Laredo Inc.
The Mano Foundation’s typical grant size is modest to mid-sized: the p25 is $10,000, the median is $12,000, and the p75 is $20,000. Recent awards range above that band at the top end, including a $50,000 grant and several $25,000 to $30,000 awards, but most grants sit near the middle of the distribution. The foundation also shows repeat support for the same recipients across years, including Brookwood in Georgetown, Changing Lanes Ministries, His House Outreach Ministries, Wild Heart Ranch Wildlife Rescue, Ruthe B Cowl Rehabilitation Center, and 4atx Foundation. It appears to make standard donations rather than program-related investments, and it does not fund individuals.
