Transparency in Action

Where Your Money Goes

The Manza Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit organization supported by public and private donations, sponsorships, and grants. We guarantee that your investment directly impacts the “little leagues of the world”

Your donation funds:

Professional Training: We partner with local recreational leagues to provide free access to professional-grade instruction.
Equipment & Facilities: We invest in underfunded areas to ensure players have the tools and safe environments they need to thrive.
Coach Mentorship: We equip volunteer coaches with the knowledge to foster player growth long after our sessions end.
Inclusive Programs: We eliminate financial barriers to develop a generation of players who embody teamwork, resilience, and community spirit.

The Urgency

Why Give Today?

We are currently operating in Ave Maria and are looking to expand our reach through your support. There are dozens of recreational leagues in underfunded areas waiting for the professional training we provide. Without your help, quality training remains a luxury that many families simply cannot afford.

A Message from our Founder

Josias "Manzy" Manzanillo

I played in Major League Baseball so that I could do what I enjoy most... teaching kids. Your support doesn't just buy equipment; it buys a child the confidence to believe they can achieve anything, on or off the field.
