First Chance Foundation

Every day we encounter friends and colleagues who grew up in loving, supportive households. An environment of love and support provided the inspiration and skills to be productive in society. There are many children throughout the country who don't enjoy that environment, and have been victims of neglect and abuse. Many didn't get the inspiration and skills offered by a loving family. These kids don't need a second chance at being successful. They need a first chance. This foundation has been created to generate the financial resources to help fund children's charities that are helping provide that first chance every single day. First Chance Foundation is a private, non-profit foundation established through contributions from individuals and clients of Verbalocity, Inc. The foundation was formed as a way to support those soundly-managed, non-profit organizations which focus on the nurturing and development of disadvantaged children.

The Manning Arts

The Manning Arts was established by Laura and Richard Sean Manning to help 501c3 organizations raise money for their worthy causes through an online Art Gallery. Sean is a philanthropist and artist who has pledged to create 3000 works of paper art in commemoration of those who perished on 9/11. Each original will be reproduced in a numbered series of 550 fine quality giclee prints, in 3 sizes, representing 1650 options per original for a total fundraising potential of $492 million for charity. Laura is the Chief Operations Officer and works behind the scene with a minion of interns to ensure that all art is documented and uploaded to The Manning Arts online Art Gallery. She and her team reach out to charities to become affiliated with this innovative fundraising initiative and helps them to plan their marketing campaigns towards successful fundraisers. Any 501c3 organization can affiliate by registering at: www.themanningarts.org For more information contact: laura.manning@themanningarts.org
