About Us

 
"For two decades Texans Care has been a leading advocacy voice and an effective catalyst for policy change."
- F. Scott McCown
Center for Public Policy Priorities
We work to make Texas a state that puts kids first.
At Texans Care for Children, we know each child brings promise for our state, yet Texas has a long way to go toward meeting that promise.

Making children a statewide priority means getting laws and rules on the books that offer real solutions, so more of our Texas kids are healthy, secure, and thriving. A nonpartisan nonprofit organization for more than 25 years, we are home-grown in Texas, leading the charge to give every Texan a good start in life.

Our work makes us the leading policy:
  • voice for Texas children, who need someone to speak on their behalf at the tables of powerful decision-makers;
  • source on Texas children, so Texans know how our state is doing by kids; and
  • network for people who put children first, bringing together the people with a stake in children's lives to identify and help deliver what works.
We do this work focusing on five promises to Texas' future: health, protection, mental wellbeing, justice, and financial security. In each of these areas, we seek out what's best for the over 6 million children of Texas.
