Massage and compassionate touch for people with cancer

Give Through Your IRA

Make a tax-wise gift directly from your IRA to bring free, compassionate care to people facing cancer. If you are 70½ or older, a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)—also known as an IRA Charitable Rollover—is a simple, powerful way to support The Hand to Heart Project while maximizing your tax benefits.

Key Benefits of an IRA Gift:

  • Give Tax-Free: Transfer funds directly from your IRA without increasing your taxable income.
  • Fulfill Your RMD: Count your gift directly toward your yearly Required Minimum Distribution (if age 73 or older).
  • Maximize Your Impact: Support our mission regardless of whether you itemize tax deductions.

How to Make an IRA Gift

1. Contact Your IRA Administrator

Request a direct transfer payable to NH-VT Palliative Services (the registered 501(c)(3) legal entity for The Hand to Heart Project).

2. Provide Distribution Instructions

Have your administrator send the payment directly to our address:

The Hand to Heart Project, a program of NH-VT Palliative Services

PO Box 248

Cornish Flat, NH 03746

Tax ID / EIN: 20-8392265

3. Let Us Know Your Gift Is on the Way

Because IRA checks often arrive without donor details, please send a quick email to contact@handtoheartproject.org with:

      • Your name
      • Your IRA administrator’s name
      • The expected gift amount

 

Every IRA distribution helps us continue providing free in-home massage, relief, and compassionate touch to people living with cancer and their caregivers—ensuring no family ever faces this journey alone.
