Overview

Mission

Give-a-hand.techs mission is to serve as an adoptive home for people with, or who could benefit from, abandoned implantable medical devices. Give-a- hand.tech will enable people to gain access to, and keep benefitting from, these devices for the remainder of their lifetimes.

What it reported doing in 2025

Provide support to specific individuals who have implanted devices inside of them. Support, in this case, typically involves fixing their external control and/or charging devices so that they can keep using their implanted system.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
