San Manuel’s charitable giving program supports organizations that provide services in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. Applications are also accepted from Tribal Governments and Tribal nonprofit organizations throughout the United States.
Our resources are directed within four giving pillars to benefit these communities and improve quality of life for adults, children and families. Applications are considered through the lens of demonstrated community need, and an organization’s capacity to meet that need.
