Friends of Manito, The

The Friends of Manito (TFM) mission is to conduct educational, volunteer, and fundraising activities that are responsive to the needs of the TFM membership, and to participate in the responsible preservation and improvement of Manito Park. TFM seeks to accomplish this mission in cooperation with the City of Spokane and its surrounding communities. Since 1990, TFM has raised over $700,000, funding over 60 projects, including the lower playground equipment, the Duncan Garden gazebo and the Rose Garden pergolas. The funds are raised through three major plant sales, the Tropical Plant Sale in March, the Spring Plant Sale in June and the Fall Plant Sale in September.

Your donations help maintain and improve Manito Park. Every year TFM funds many projects throughout the park. Currently, there are real problems at Mirror Pond - TFM is working with park staff to improve the quality of the water. We ask the community to not feed the ducks at Manito Park. TFM has fun volunteer opportunities and is always looking for community involvement.
