The Invisible Hand provides funds to Washington DC-area residents to meet immediate challenges and needs. The Invisible Hand is a unique and special charity; we believe that the dignity of those in need is of paramount importance. Beneficiaries and benefactors are thoroughly anonymous, unknown even to one another. The Invisible Hand thus fulfills the highest order of charitable giving in the famous “golden ladder” of giving developed by noted 12th century Spanish scholar and philosopher Maimonides.
