  • MANY HAND IS A 501(C)3 DEDICATED TO "TRANSFORM TOGETHER TO BE LOVE IN ACTION IN A BROKEN WORLD." WE ACCOMPLISH THIS BY WORKING IN RELATIONSHIPS WITH CHILDREN, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITIES IN HAITI, THE BAHAMAS, AND THE U.S. TO UNLEASH THEIR GOD-GIVEN TALENTS AND RESOURCES TO MEET THE CHALLENGES OF THE DAY. TOP 3 PROGRAM SERVICES ACCOMPLISHED: 1)LOVE IN ACTION: LOVE IN ACTION (LIA) IS OUR INITIATIVE TO REBUILD, RESTORE, AND RENEW COMMUNITIES BY STRENGTHENING FAMILIES.

IN 2023, WE PROVIDED DAILY FOOD, MEDICAL ASSISTANCE, SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE, AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR OVER 400 MOTHERS AND CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 2. AS PART OF THIS INITIATIVE, WE ALSO OPERATE AN EARLY CHILDHOOD LEARNING CENTER FOR THREE-, FOUR-, AND FIVE-YEAR-OLDS, CALLED THE SCHOOL OF LIGHT, WITH PRIMARY EDUCATION FOR THOSE GRADUATING FROM PRESCHOOL.

IN 2023, WE SENT 195 U.S. VOLUNTEERS TO THE BAHAMAS TO WORK WITH OUR BAHAMIAN STAFF AND COMMUNITIES.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Taxable family

From Schedule R Parts I, III and IV: entities that legally are the filer, and taxable partnerships, corporations and trusts it is related to. These record ownership and control, not shared board members or money.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
