Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

THE MISSION OF CRIME SURVIVORS IS TO PROVIDE HOPE & HEALING TO VICTIMS & SURVIVORS OF CRIME THROUGH ADVOCACY & THE SUPPORT OF RESOURCES, INFORMATION, & EMPOWERMENT FROM THE CRITICAL TIME AFTER A CRIME OCCURS THROUGH THE CHALLENGES & SUCCESSES OF SURVIVING & THRIVING.

  • HEALING: OVERCOMING ANY OBSTACLE IN LIFE INVOLVES COURAGE, STRENGTH AND PERSISTENCE. SURVIVING A CRIME IS NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS OVERNIGHT. IT IS A LIFETIME JOURNEY THAT REQUIRES UNWAVERING LOVE, UNDERSTANDING AND SUPPORT. CRIME SURVIVORS, THROUGH ITS COMMITTED TEAM, IS THAT LIFETIME PARTNER AND ADVOCATE. BY FOCUSING ON THE POSITIVE EMPOWERMENT OF CRIME VICTIMS, THIS AMAZING ORGANIZATION TRANSFORMS THE WEAK INTO THE POWERFUL, THE SCARED INTO THE BRAVE AND TURNS VICTIMS INTO SURVIVORS. IN ORDER TO OVERCOME TRAGEDY YOU NEED STRENGTH. CRIME SURVIVORS PROVIDES EVERY SURVIVOR WITH A CLEAR PATH TO HOPE, HEALING AND INEVITABLY STRENGTH.

  • PREVENTION: THE BEST FORM OF PREVENTION IS ALWAYS EDUCATION. CRIME SURVIVORS IS ONE OF THE LEADING "VICTIMS FOCUSED" EDUCATORS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. WHETHER IT IS TRAINING LAW ENFORCEMENT, TESTIFYING IN FRONT OF LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEES, OR SITTING DOWN WITH THE FAMILY AND SUPPORT STRUCTURE OF A NEWLY CREATED CRIME VICTIM, THE ORGANIZATION IS ABLE TO SHARE AN UNMATCHED LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE, CARE AND EXPERIENCE. THIS UNIQUE APPROACH CREATES BOTH AWARENESS AND UNDERSTANDING AMONG A BROAD SET OF GROUPS AND TRULY SETS THE STAGE FOR NOT ONLY PREVENTION, BUT PUTTING THE NEEDS OF CRIME VICTIMS FIRST.

  • AWARENESS: AS CRIME CONTINUES TO INCREASE IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS AND VICTIM'S RESOURCES BECOME HARDER TO COME BY, THE NEED FOR AWARENESS AND UNDERSTANDING HAS NEVER BEEN GREATER. CRIME SURVIVORS IS SINGULARILY FOCUSED ON MAKING SURE THAT OUR LEADERS AND INFLUENCERS ARE NOT ONLY AWARE OF THE NEEDS OF VICTIMS, BUT COMMITTED TO PROMOTING AND SUPPORTING PRO-CRIME SURVIVOR POLICIES AND PRACTICES THROUGHOUT THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. ADVOCACY: CRIME SURVIVORS IS THE ONE ADVOCACY GROUP THAT NOT ONLY UNDERSTANDS THE NEEDS OF CRIME VICTIMS, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY HOW TO TRANSLATE THOSE NEEDS INTO REAL ACTION AND RESULTS. THROUGH THE STRENGTH, EXPERIENCE AND ENDLESS COMMITTMENT OF ITS ENTIRE TEAM, CRIME SURVIVORS IS BREAKING THROUGH ALL THE RED TAPE AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AND CHANGING THE WAY VICTIMS ARE TREATED IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
