About MANIT
The 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Marshallese American Network for Interacting Together, also known as MANIT, is in the United States and the Marshall Islands. Manit means “culture” in the Marshallese language and is at the heart of what it means to be a Marshallese person. The nonprofit was founded by a former Marshall Islands Member of Parliament and Cabinet Minister, a former Marshall Islands Director of the Environment, and a musician & editor from Oregon on August 21, 2021.
