DONATE TO THE GRANGE!
Our Captial Improvement Project is underway and our goal is $500,000 - The Grange currently has $250,000 towards this goal. YOU can help!
Grange Members are working hard to make the Grange the cornerstone of Manson. Join us by giving to the Grange through membership, volunteerism or donation. We are in the process of securing grants, building a fundraising campaign and pursuing donations for the seven phases of our capital improvement project.
List of Seven Phases:
Phase 1 - Basement Restrooms. Renovate the two existing bathrooms and modify for universally accessible access - Update 75-year old sewer/plumbing lines. (The start of this phase begins soon….. we are so excited).
Phase 2 - New HVAC System. Replace basement furnace/AC, basement windows, and upstairs heat pump
Phase 3 - Accessible Ramp Roof. Construct a roof over the accessible ramp
Phase 4 - Accessible Ramp. Construct two hundred feet of accessible ramps to provide accessibility to each floor
Phase 5 - Upstairs Restrooms. Enlarge and replace the existing bathroom and add an additional bathroom
Phase 6 - Interior Finishes. Refinish upstairs wood floor, replace basement carpet, refinish wood trim and wainscoting
Phase 7 - Front Entry Updates. Remove barriers to entry, improve lighting, install handrails and paint exterior
Each phase of the Grange revitalization is designed to be either a stand alone project or combined with another phase depending on the budget. You can send your tax deductible donation by check or credit card.

Community
The Manson Grange is one of 1,700 local chapters across the nation that serves as the center of rural life in our community. We offer a range of locally oriented programs, activities and community service events. Charitable work is often the focus with members giving many volunteer hours and raising money for important causes. The Grange helps improve the lives of their own members and of neighbors in our community through grassroots action, service, education, advocacy and agriculture awareness.
Advocacy
Along with being a social and service organization, the Grange is the Nation’s oldest agriculture advocacy group. Becoming a Grange member opens the door to interact with legislators to advocate on behalf of rural America and agriculture. The Manson Grange holds regular meetings during which issues like rural broadband access, climate change, and rural healthcare are discussed. As the Grange is a grassroots organization, policy recommendations are adopted in local Granges, passed by State Granges and moved to the National Grange who advocates for them in Washington, D.C. with Congress and other federal agencies.
