Right Hand Charitable Trust appears to operate primarily as a funding vehicle rather than a programmatic foundation: its sole recorded grant is a large, unrestricted transfer to DAFGIVING360, a donor-advised/grantmaking intermediary. There is no direct evidence of issue-area, geographic, or beneficiary-specific priorities in the public grant record. This suggests the trust directs philanthropic decisions to an intermediary or advises grants through a donor-advised structure rather than funding named nonprofits directly.
Highly concentrated — a single, large pass-through grant to a donor-advised/grantmaking intermediary rather than multiple direct grants; likely uses DAF structures to allocate future giving.
Right Hand Charitable Trust U/a/d 12/12/14’s public record is dominated by a single 2025 charitable grant of $1,182,064 to Dafgiving360 in Omaha, Nebraska. That transfer is much larger than the trust’s other recorded awards and points to a structure that channels most giving through an intermediary rather than to many direct operating grants. Around that core, the trust has also supported food distribution, hurricane relief, and faith-based community services through named local organizations. The recorded grants show a pattern of modest, repeated support at the $10,000 to $25,000 level for community organizations in Minnesota, Florida, and Kentucky. Fish of Sanibel and Sanibel Community Church each received multiple grants tied to food distribution and hurricane relief. Deer Creek Community Services in Apple Valley also appears more than once, as do Higher Trek in Lexington and several Minnesota congregational or school-based recipients. Taken together, the public grant list suggests a trust that makes both large pass-through charitable transfers and smaller targeted gifts to community-serving and ministry-linked organizations.
Food distribution is one of the clearest recurring themes in the trust’s public grants. In 2023, it gave $25,000 to Fish of Sanibel for a food distribution center, followed by another $20,000 in 2024 for the same purpose. That same organization also appears among the larger awards in the record. Hurricane recovery is another specific area. Sanibel Community Church received $25,000 in 2023 and $20,000 in 2024 for a hurricane relief fund, indicating support tied to disaster response in Sanibel. The trust also funds faith-linked community services in Minnesota. Deer Creek Community Services in Apple Valley received $20,000 in 2023 and another $20,000 in 2024 for Discovery Ministry. Separate general-support grants went to Neighborhood House in Saint Paul, Sand Lake Northwoods Chapel in Deer River, and Church of St Therese in Deephaven.
The typical grant size is $10,000, with the lower quartile and median both at $10,000 and the upper quartile at $20,000. The distribution is therefore tightly clustered, even though one 2025 transfer to Dafgiving360 was far larger than the rest. The record also shows repeat recipients across multiple years, including Fish of Sanibel, Sanibel Community Church, Deer Creek Community Services, Higher Trek, Sand Lake Northwoods Chapel, Church of St Therese, and St Therese Catholic School. The trust funds individuals: False, and it makes program-related investments: False. The grant record does not show a public application process.
