Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

The Orphan's Hands provides a safe home and education for orphaned youth at risk of being trafficked in high-risk countries while bringing the love and hope of Jesus.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The Orphans' Hands has a profoundly positive impact on the lives of vulnerable individuals in high-risk countries. We rescue them from becoming victims of the horrors of human trafficking with a unique approach that meets their immediate needs and empowers them to become leaders in their communities. Whether as missionaries, doctors, lawyers, or in any other role they aspire to, we encourage them to pursue their dreams and share Jesus's love. We provide a safe and nurturing home where they can realize their potential, offering academic support and, most importantly, bringing them the love and hope of Jesus. This transformative love inspires our young men and women to extend the care they found to nearby villages, sharing Jesus and providing essential items like firewood, food, and clothing to impoverished families, people experiencing homelessness, and orphans.

  • In Moldova and Ukraine, we provide housing for orphaned young men and women and fulfill their basic daily needs, education, and care. The participants in our program voluntarily engage in weekly outreach missions to serve the homeless, orphans, and vulnerable families and communities. They offer essential supplies such as food, clothing, and firewood while sharing Jesus's love.

    Expenses $1,562,874

  • The Evangelism Ministry travels across the United States, sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ through radio, television, music, and online platforms.

    Expenses $284,706

  • We are committed to strengthening our communities by providing essential financial support to local ministries and acknowledging their vital work for those in need.

    Expenses $52,751

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

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.

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

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 13 October 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.
