Testimonials
"Youth Challenge is grateful to VAF By-The-Hand Foundation for allowing us to participate in its FastScratch for Charity campaign. It was a fun and unique way to engage our donors. They enjoyed playing the game while earning matching dollars for our organization. Many donors even played more than once and made multiple donations during our campaign. Thanks again!"

"I am grateful to have had the opportunity to partner with VAF By The Hand Foundation to raise funds for the Up Side of Downs. Their FastScratch for Charity program provided our organization with a creative way to engage with our donors and match funds from the foundation for USOD’s education programs critical to students with Down syndrome in Northeast Ohio. Thank you for the support!"

The Up Side of Downs of Northeast Ohio
"The Hunger Network of Greater Cleveland was honored to be one of the selected charities to collaborate with By the Hand Foundation during our 'September is Hunger Awareness Month' campaign. Their giving program was easy to use and doubled our donations! They gave us the tools and support materials to make this seamless for our donors and to attract new donors. Thank you VAF By the Hand!"

“Ver-A-Fast has done such an excellent job with our first time blood donor thank you program in one of our divisions that we’re expanding it across the entire organization. Because of the thank you program, we’re seeing higher donor retention rates, which has a direct impact on our ability to provide hospitals with blood products for patients. Ver-A-Fast is a great partner in helping to fulfill our lifesaving mission.”

“To achieve our mission of empowering children and adults with disabilities to advance their independence, productivity and community inclusion, we depend on the generous support of foundations, individual donors and other philanthropic partners. VAF By The Hand Foundation has increased our donor base by allowing donors to give anonymously, as well as increased our fundraising dollars as they periodically provide matching funds for donations. This support makes a profound impact on the 1,300 individuals with wide-ranging disabilities we serve each year. We appreciate By the Hand Foundation’s efforts in highlighting the significance of individual donors to the success of nonprofit organizations and hope you take great pride in the important difference that your gift makes.”
