GIVE A HAND

Individuals or Foundations may support H.A.N.D. in several different ways. You may give an unrestricted gift to H.A.N.D. that can be used where the need is greatest or your contribution may be directed to any one of H.A.N.D.'s six different funds. Click here for a description of each of these funds.

H.A.N.D. is a voluntary nonprofit charitable 501(c)(3) organization

What does it mean to be a 501(c)(3) organization?
This means that we can accept contributions and offer donors a tax deduction for their gifts. For donors like you, this means your contributions are fully tax-deductible to the amount allowed by law.

What is my tax benefit for charitable contributions?
The chart below gives the deduction for a single person in each tax bracket making a cash donation of $100. The instructions for the 1040 Form will help determine the exact amount of your deduction, which will vary depending on your tax bracket and whether you file as a single person or jointly.

CHARITABLE EVENTS: For a charitable event, only a portion of the ticket value is deductible. The portion that is NOT deductible is the value of the goods or services that you receive (e.g. dinner, entertainment, etc.). The rest is deductible. For example, if you pay $150 for an event, and the benefits received are worth $60, the tax-deductible amount is $90. The charity hosting the event will be able to identify the exact value of the benefits for each event.
