Friends of Man

Purpose

Friends of Man is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides direct assistance to individuals with genuine needs across the United States, with a strong focus on Colorado. Established in 1982, the organization operates entirely through volunteers, ensuring that 100% of public donations go directly to charitable aid—none are used for administrative costs or salaries. Friends of Man offers help with a wide range of necessities, including mobility equipment, medical devices, prosthetics, basic needs like clothing and food, and emergency assistance for low-income families. To receive aid, individuals must apply through a referring professional such as a social worker or healthcare provider, and all applications are carefully reviewed. The organization relies solely on donations from individuals, businesses, churches, and foundations, without any government funding.
