Manna Charitable Foundation

The Manna Charitable Foundation is a group in the series. It is a non-governmental organization which started as an interfaith humanitarian relief agency formed from the collaboration of various charitable groups and religious organizations with the intent of freely distribute anomalous objects or products to civilians living in regions or areas plagued by poverty, warfare, famine, and natural disaster.
It plays a major role in the latter half of the "Anabasis" series.
==History==
===Possible Origins===
====Manna====
In the ancient past, somewhere in Africa, an individual named Manna was born from an impoverished, widowed and loving mother who took care of them until the day she died. Thanks to their upbringing Manna grew to become a charitable person that shared their love with the poor and did their best to provide nutrition and homes for those who greatly needed the most, seeing them as their children. Manna would always sacrifice themself to help their children, going to great lengths to gather enough food for everyone. As years went by, Manna grew old and sadly perished, but from their grave vegetation inexplicably grew which paved way for fruits to be produced that nourished their children.
Most of the children felt betrayed by Manna's departure, becoming hateful, mistrustful and coward individuals, but those who still cherished their caretaker decided to continue their legacy. These loyal individuals formed a group dedicated to take care and look after the poor, the weak and the defenseless, gathering useful anomalies to improve lives. This group would persist to the present time, becoming known as the Manna Charitable Foundation.
====Birth by Guitar====
The MCF was founded by a religious man in New York who was concerned over the fate of humanity. As he struggled to find a way to help with the problems plaguing the human race, he heard the song about the Manna Charity man sang from the Guitarist of Are We Cool Yet?, and inspired by the song the man decided to propose for the formation of the Manna Charitable Foundation.
====Damnatio Memoriae====
The MCF was seemingly founded by former member of the O5 Council Carlos who like his fellow Overseers wished to use the anomalies to provide to humanity, before he passed away.
===Possible Endings===
====Person of Interest File #2273/01====
In December of 2018, after the Veil of Secrecy was destroyed as a result of Mekhane's appearance on Russia and the destruction of SCP-610, the anomalous world became public knowledge, which allowed the MCF to finally go public. It proceeded to help various anomalous individuals, like SCP-2273, to reintegrate in the public, and was wary of the Foundation keeping contact with them due to the abuse it caused.
====Broken Masquerade====
After a Broken Masquerade occurred following the disappearance of North Korea, the MCF continued doing its job, but without the need to hide anything. During the outbreak of SCP-5350 the MCF collaborated with the Foundation, the World Parahealth Organization and the Unusual Incidents Unit to contain the anomalous virus.
====Old Kansas Sector 1: Farmhouse====
As the entire world was slowly being destroyed, the MCF tried its best to help with the chaos but it quickly fell apart.
====End of Death====
When the embodiment of Death was destroyed and all life became immortal, the MCF continued with helping people worldwide, trying its best to improve people's lives in this new state of the world.
====Vanguard====
After the Foundation was dissolved into Vanguard, caused a Broken Masquerade scenario and integrating the anomalous world into the normal one, the MCF revealed itself later on and opened volunteer and worker application portal on its website before launching an ambassadorship program with the United Nations. The MCF began operating in all of the continents and Free Ports, including the Third Antarctic Empire. The organization's achievements were well received by the public though it was criticized for mishandling the anomalies at its disposal.
==Organization==
The Manna Charitable Foundation is a humanitarian non-profit, nonsectarian organisation that mostly operates in the anomalous world concealed behind the Veil of Secrecy. This organization is dedicated to the humanitarian assistance by fulfilling the necessary missions and programmes about Health, Prevention, Infrastructure, Development, Training, Research, Rescue, Intervention and Logistics, all in accordance with the regulations and restrictions of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. The MCF is supported by several benefactors and donators which included trusted persons, entities and groups of interest alike that give the Charity anomalies, known as Abnormal Assets, as long as those anomalies were safe and useful.
The MCF has no central headquarters, instead having five offices in each continent: the American Headquarters in Toronto, Canada; the European Headquarters in Barcelona, Spain; the Asian Headquarters in Hong Kong, China; the Oceanian Headquarters in Canberra, Australia; and the African Headquarters in Johannesburg, South Africa. These offices gathered and distributed local resources, donations and volunteers to help areas where people were in great need of support. The Charity's Mission Work Groups were usually deployed in developing countries where the other organisms didn't hold much influence, allowing them to execute their Programmes which involved the assistance of victims, maintenance of shelters and recruitment of local volunteers.
According to the MCF's Grand Charter, its only aim is "to Heal the World and its Denizens", that being to provide assistance to the poor people who are in dire need due to being afflicted by conflicts, natural disasters, environmental destruction, supernatural threats among other calamities to human lives. The organization provides means of subsistence and existing or future societies, until its services aren't needed anymore. All members of the MCF are expected to do their best to assist the needy regardless of the latter's cultural backgrounds, using any means necessary to help which usually involved the utilization of Abnormal Assets, to fulfill the poor's needs. All workers are strictly prohibited from revolving to violence in any type of situation, and the MCF holds all responsibilities for the actions of its members and affiliated parties.
The MCF was led by the International Board comprised of members with high authority and representatives of parties that support the Charity. All Continental Secretaries and Mission Directors and leaders of MCF's activities fall under the board. Thousands of personnel comprise the Charity, including scientists, ambassadors, political activists, celebrities and other anonymous individuals who all share the desire to change the world for the better. These members were divided into the Continental Branch that managed an extensive financial and recruitment network, and the secret Mission Branch which was composed of Mission Work Groups that directly operated in the field. Anyone could join the MCF, the only requirements being a genuine desire to help, past academic or work experience, and personal information.
==Relationships with anomalous factions==
The MCF has a complicated relationship with the SCP Foundation as although the Foundation recognizes that the organization is trying to do good it was forced to intervene on several occasions to shut down the MCF's operations and steal its useful anomalies.
The Global Occult Coalition has a better relationship with the MCF, allowing the organization to freely operate around the world and even helping in its mission by donating to it. The World Parahealth Organization which was part of the GOC's Council of 106, was also part of MCF International Board.
As part of a deal, Prometheus Labs, Inc. designed low-cost food alternatives for the MCF.
The MCF appears to have a good, albeit one-sided, relationship with Nobody, as he once under the name of Joe Benefactor aided the organization'a worker Maria Nwosu in perfecting some talismans that would be used to protect a poor village in Africa.
Following the dissolution of Stuff Industry, the MCF investigated its employees for their products as it saw some of them as beneficial for the poor people, but didn't find much expect for the pills and robots.
The MCF has a very good relationship with the Horizon Initiative which supports the organization and in turn supplies the Initiative with anomalous objects.
The MCF had a hostile relationship with Marshall, Carter and Dark Ltd. due to the latter distributing anomalies out of greed and selfishness.
SCP-2099 once sold an "Enlarger" to the MCF which helped the organization in enlarging food before it was taken by the Foundation.
The Office for the Reclamation of Islamic Artifacts had once captured three MCF workers who were attempting to distribute self-replicating food to villages in Mali.
Dr. Wondertainment seems to have a mutual and friendly relationship with the MCF as it has sent various donations in form of anomalous and non-anomalous products which the charity accepted.
The MCF had accepted donations from the Sarkic community of SCP-2815 in form of SCP-2815-6 to help the organization in ita goal of helping those in need. The MCF proceeded to use SCP-2815-6 for medical, food and construction supplies to help the poor all around the world.
The MCF sees the Church of the Broken God as an evil cult which indoctrinates innocent people for selfish reasons, and because of this it seeks to save those people from the Church by rehabilitating them and removing their implants as shown in their "Draft Proposal For Programme Arduinosis 9001". This draft was later vandalized by Hatbot.
dado had made some donations like SCP-3866 to the MCF.
The MCF also operates in the interdimensional city-state of Three Portlands, mostly to receive donations. Some of these donations would be used to support the underwater civilization living inside of SCP-169.
The MCF once attempted to save some poor people in the Middle East, but the mercenary group Valravn Corporation, hired by a emir, attacked the charity's workers, killing most of them except for one in order for him to tell the story.
Surprisingly, the Chaos Insurgency had donated to the MCF which the latter wholeheartedly accepted without prejudice.
The MCF has a close relationship with Goldbaker-Reinz Insurance Group Ltd. The insurance company had provided to the MCF coverage since the latter's inception, donating ultra-low-cost health, life, and accident insurance to MCF's members, healthcare in exchange for scientific observation, "hedge donations" that mitigate the harmful effects of an unsuitable donation, and assistance in failed operations.
The MCF had ties with the Cryptid Specialist Group, a group of scientists affiliated with IUCN devoted to protecting anomalous lifeforms through influencing the activities of conservation agencies and NGOs.
