Mission
Gifted Hands is dedicated to healing, inspiring, and empowering individuals facing life challenges by providing innovative art-based programs. We are founded on the philosophy that the visual arts can literally transform lives. We serve people facing chronic or terminal illness, abuse or neglect, physical or emotional disabilities, homelessness, and a wide range of social-economic challenges. For more than 25 years Gifted Hands has offered over 100 on-site programs to disadvantaged population groups. Hundred of volunteers have taught, served, and loved countless individuals and families who need it the most.l
Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

Highest-paid independent contractors
No independent contractors reported.
Who gave
Contributor names are not public for this form type.
Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.
Finances
Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went
Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
