Mansfield Cares

What Mansfield Cares does

Mansfield Cares is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation founded on August 2, 1999, in Mansfield, Texas, that operates as a centralized fundraising intermediary for local charitable organizations. The organization runs three annual events — the Annual Charity Ball (a black-tie gala held at Walnut Creek Country Club), Viva Las Mansfield Casino Night, and Wines Around the World wine tasting dinner — and redistributes the proceeds to a portfolio of community programs, including the Feed the Kids summer feeding program, the Angel Tree holiday assistance program, the MISD Back-to-School Bash, college scholarships, and direct funding to twelve local food pantries and the Harvesting in Mansfield Center food bank. The organization reports raising more than $150,000 annually through events and over $1 million cumulatively through the annual gala across its 23-year history.

The model is event-driven and donor-supported: ticket sales, corporate sponsorships (Mouser Electronics, Methodist Mansfield Medical Center, Baylor Scott & White, Legendz Way, and ~30 other named sponsors), and individual donations flow through to grantee charities. Mansfield Cares has no paid staff or proprietary technology; it is operated by 40-plus volunteers spanning retail, banking, medical, manufacturing, and local business, and is governed by a Board of Directors and Ambassador group. Its operational footprint is a mailing address at 990 U.S. 287 Frontage Road #106-185, Mansfield, TX, and a warehouse at 150 S. 6th Ave used for food bagging under the Feed the Kids program. It supports 20 charity organizations and reports impacting 15,000 community members annually.
