What does it mean for a nonprofit to be CRA aligned?
Each nonprofit on Community Qualifier has been reviewed by findCRA utilizing a dual evaluation process. Nonprofits are first evaluated by our proprietary algorithm, CRANIA, and then further validated by our CRA experts. When nonprofit passes both parts of this review, we create a nonprofit profile for them on Community Qualifier. From there, a nonprofit can claim their profile and add additional information including their programs & services, counties served, targeted clients and income groups and more.

Programs & Services info
Mentoring
The Hand Up Network provides a “Hand Up” and avoids the traditional response of a “Hand Out”. We focus our efforts on developing programs to encourage, equip and empower those who want, and are willing, to change their circumstances. These people need a “Hand Up” and an opportunity to overcome a tough season of life. Each person will have a unique journey and we are intentional to build a foundation that helps to establish abilities and good habits that provide for long-term success.

Victim Services
Operating 24/7. Hand Up Network Victim Services provides Long-term Response to the survivors of criminal activity across East Texas. We are called to the scene by Regional Law Enforcement and Medical Partners to assist survivors and their families in managing the long term physical and mental challenges that lie ahead. The journey is not a few days or weeks, but will last many months and years. It begins usually at the point of victimization and continues long after the Judicial Process concludes. We stay involved in the cases to ensure that our Clients are aware and engaged in moving on from the victimization.
