Employee payroll deductions are the
third largest source of funding
for the Country Manor Foundation, and we couldn't be more proud.
Whether it's $1 per paycheck, or $100, our staff see the value in what we do!
The annual Fiesta and Festival are our Employee Payroll Deduction Pledge Drive events at both Country Manor, Sartell, and Woodcrest of Country Manor, St. Joseph. Staff are treated to a free lunch and giveaways, while the Foundation gets a chance to say "Thank you" to our employees for their continued support.
Each year, the Foundation chooses up to three projects to fund using the proceeds from employee withholdings.
In 2025, our Payroll Pledge Drive raised funds to install permanent, customizable exterior lighting on our buildings. These lights make a huge impact on safety, especially during the winter months when the sun sets early. Plus, with over 150 color patterns, we can light up Country Manor in stunning displays for every occasion. As a community that loves to celebrate big, these lights make every event even more magical.
To our Country Manor Employees: Thank you for joining us on our mission. We are so grateful for each and every one of you. Please know that your gifts will be used to assist those in need, at a time when added support is needed most.

We could not do it without you!
Proceeds
from the 2026 event will go toward:
Sartell Campus: Walking Path & Enhanced Outdoor Amenities – Phase 1
Funds raised for the Sartell campus will support two initiatives: Phase 1 of a new walking path and enhanced outdoor amenities.
The walking path will wind around campus, creating a safer, more accessible way for residents, visitors, and staff to enjoy time outdoors.
Employees may also choose to support enhanced outdoor amenities. These improvements may include landscaping enhancements, additional outdoor seating along walking paths and in garden areas, pavilion updates, and other features that make our outdoor spaces more welcoming and enjoyable.
Together, these initiatives will enhance safety, accessibility, and everyday moments spent outdoors.
St. Joseph Campus: Exterior Lighting – Phase 2
At our St. Joseph campus, funds raised will support Phase 2 of installing permanent exterior lighting on our buildings. These upgrades will improve visibility and safety during evening and early morning hours, creating a more secure and welcoming environment for everyone on campus.
Enhanced lighting helps residents feel confident moving about, supports staff working all hours, and provides added reassurance for families and visitors.
Donation forms are available to employees in the weeks leading up to the events, or an online version may be accessed and submitted via the button below. Additionally, staff wishing to make a one-time contribution may do so using the online donation system.
