The ManKind Project USA is in the process of reinvention.
We are moving toward a more balanced funding picture of Membership / Tuition (fee for service) / and Capital Fundraising.
Capital Funds are for our future building and investment in the ManKind Project USA.
“I am in this on behalf of the survival of the MKPSD, MKP-USA and MKPI. This is an us thing for me. I am more interested in what can I do for us than what you can do for me. ” ~ John Malone, MKPSD Center Director
Fund The Plan (FTP-Completed Campaign):
Purpose: to generate $1,000,000; Achieved $400,000
Target audience: General MKP Population
Note: 20% of the monies have been used for hiring IT Administrator, Marketing Director, Interim Development Director, purchasing hardware/software for web-based system (CiviCRM) and supplementing the salary of the new Executive Director. The rest will be used as stated in the prospectus and is being held in TRUST and managed directly by a small team of men.This was about the commitment of MKP USA to re-invent itself into the next generation.This was a onetime fundraising campaign. If we did not reach a bottom level goal of $400,000 we would not go forward. If so we would have given all monies back and probably the organization would have died. We started spending some of that money in July, which became fully in use in August. The money is going towards expenses that the Stanford men told us we needed to put into place if we had any chance of surviving.

- evolving the culture of MKP from reliance on training income to a culture of membership
- building an ‘army’ of committed people who believe in the value that MKP offers to the world and want to support it
- exponential expansion of what MKP USA can provide to local communities and IGroups
