Our Captial Improvement Project is underway (see photos here). Our new goal is $300,000 (we’ve already raised $200,000 which was used for the bathroom, HVAC & now part of the ADA ramp). YOU can help!
List of Seven Phases:
Phase 1 - Basement Restrooms. Thank you to our general contractor, Jeff Gerot, and his team for the complete remodel and ADA accessable restrooms in the Grange lower level. (This phase is complete.) Check out the RENOVATION page from the top menu).
Phase 2 - New HVAC System. Replace basement furnace/AC, and upstairs heat pump. Thank you to Dillon Parker with Cool Red HVAC. (This phase is complete).
Phase 3 - NEXT - Accessible Ramp. Construct two hundred feet of accessible ramps to provide accessibility to each floor. THIS is the phase we’re currently raising money for! Please contribute either by check (see below) or click on the GoFundMe. Visit: https://gofund.me/80db7916 to learn how to donate to this phase.
Phase 4 - Accessible Ramp Roof. Construct a roof over the accessible ramp.
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 project 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 use your credit/debit 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.
