The Coalition is funded in part by a grant to CHILDREN AT RISK (C@R) from the Pritzker Children’s Initiative.
TexProtects, Texans Care for Children and C@R lead this work with backing of over 110 partner organizations across the state. Read more about each organization and their area of expertise by clicking their website link.
CHILDREN AT RISK
Speaking Out + Driving Change for Children | childrenatrisk.org
Using the tools of research and advocacy, CHILDREN AT RISK works on a broad range of children’s issues, including education, health, safety & opportunity, immigration, and equity. We focus our efforts where they are needed most: where a significant number of Texas’ children are affected, and where we can enhance, but not duplicate, the work of others.
Texans Care for Children
We drive policy change to improve the lives of Texas children today for a stronger Texas tomorrow. | txchildren.org
We are a statewide, non-profit, non-partisan, multi-issue children’s policy organization. We develop policy solutions, produce research, and engage Texas community leaders to educate policymakers, the media, and the public about what works to improve the well-being of Texas children and families.
TexProtects | Prevent Child Abuse America
Champions for safe children. | texprotects.org
TexProtects is a state-level advocacy organization focused on the prevention of child abuse and neglect. We believe every child has the right to a safe, nurturing childhood. That’s why TexProtects advocates for policy that strengthens Texas families. Our mission is to advance public policy and local implementation to prevent child abuse and neglect.
