Ver-A-Fast By The Hand Foundation (VAF By The Hand) was established in 1990 by Robert Bensman and Cathleen Soprano. We are a private, non-operating foundation, which means that we receive most of our income from investments and endowments. This is income used to make grants to other charitable organizations.
Donate To Your Favorite Charities Anonymously
Making the process of giving easy, fee-free & fun.
VAF By The Hand Foundation does not accept outside donations for our own benefit. We accept donations that are passed on 100% to the donor’s charity of choice. By using VAF By The Hand as a conduit for donations, it can allow the donor to remain anonymous, thereby alleviating future unwanted solicitations from those charities.
