BE ABLE

Grow Green Match Day is coming on April 22!

What is Grow Green Match Day?

On Monday, April 22, 2025, the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation is hosting the 12th annual Grow Green Match Day! On this day, donations made through the GMCF to Be Able will receive a 50% match up to $7500. There are 2 simple ways to give:
1. Online at GROWGREENMANHATTAN.COM on April 22
2. By mailing a check  received before April 22 and must include a completed Grow Green Giving Form. Download and print the form from THIS LINK. Mail to: GMCF, P.O. Box 1127, Manhattan, KS 66505

We believe that Be Able is the best investment you will make all year. On Grow Green Match Day, not only will your generosity be matched at 50%, but every dollar you donate will be invested into the lives of your neighbors where the return can be exponential.

Take Gary for example. Several months ago, Gary came to Be Able after incarceration, determined to build a better life. Through his hard work and dedication, he has taken incredible steps—securing a home, steady employment, a car, and actively engaging in recovery. But what’s truly inspiring is how he now gives back, walking alongside others who are where he once was. Because of his leadership and lived experience, Gary has been invited to serve on our Housing Advisory Team, helping shape the future of our Supportive Housing Program. His story is proof that change is possible, and second chances matter.

What is Be Able?

“Whose responsibility is it, to help our neighbors?”

In the thick of the pandemic of 2020, Be Able opened it’s doors for the first time, as most other organizations were closing them. We’ve created a place where we engage with those in adversity by creating connections, cultivating skills, and opening doors of opportunity. Our community has embraced the magic of Be Able. To join us at changing our community, one life at a time, VOLUNTEER or DONATE to our cause!

Celebrating each successful moment.
