ABOUT

VAF By The Hand Foundation

About Us

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.​

Our goals at VAF By The Hand are:
  • To provide secure and private access through our site, for donors to donate anywhere, anonymously. 
  • To help educate the public about why giving to charities is important and how it benefits both the donor and the charity.
  • To provide links that show how to choose worthy charities. 
  • To encourage individuals to actively donate. 

VAF By The Hand 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.

100% of all donations made through www.vafbythehand.org will be forwarded to the charity selected by the donor!
