24 Years Fully Funded
Since 2001, By The Hand has grown from just 16 to more than 1,800 kids. To serve more kids who are in critical need of intervention, we’ve expanded from one to six locations and we’ve finished fully funded for 24 consecutive years—that’s every year since we were founded.
Investing in the Lives of Others
By The Hand is not endowed. As an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity of others to fund the wraparound programs our kids need. With God’s leading and provision, we will serve more than 2,000 students in 2025—and reach even more kids who are in critical need of intervention.
