How do I prove my program helps low-income people?

When a nonprofit is seeking CRA support from banks, the most common question will be if the nonprofit and/or its services and programs are focused on low- or moderate-income people or areas.

Determining if a program or services meets these important criteria can be time-consuming and complex. Different federal agencies qualify low- and moderate-income in a variety of ways. For CRA, income levels are determined through data compiled and published by the U.S. Census Bureau and HUD.

At findCRA, we have the experience, expertise and tools to help nonprofits document the CRA impacts of their services and programs. We include dozens of different datapoint for each nonprofit illustrating their CRA applicability.
