CDF-Texas A Celebration of Joy: Equipping Texas Youth

Support Our Work: Help Us Build a Just, Caring, and Inclusive Texas for All Children

Your contribution today fuels the movement for child well-being and community power across Texas. With your support, we will:

• Defend the rights of immigrant children and families by leading statewide advocacy, publishing op-eds, and equipping child advocates and faith leaders to take action at the Capitol.
• Protect and expand access to healthcare and nutrition by helping families navigate public systems and apply for programs like Medicaid, CHIP, and SNAP.
• Strengthen civic participation by training parents, caregivers, and youth to organize in their communities and advocate for policies that reflect their lived experiences.
• Celebrate literacy and youth leadership through the National Day of Social Action, where 196 Texas Freedom Schools scholars took action—and over 85% maintained or improved their reading levels.

Your gift helps ensure that every child—regardless of zip code, background, or immigration status—has the opportunity to thrive.

Give with confidence. Children’s Defense Fund is highly rated by many organizations, including GuideStar, Charity Navigator, Great Nonprofits, BBB Wise Giving Alliance, and America’s Best Charities. This recognition is a demonstration of our commitment to accountability and stewardship to our donors and our mission.

Every young person deserves to grow up with dignity, hope, and joy.

That’s why, for 50 years, Children’s Defense Fund has been relentless in our advocacy at the intersection of child well-being and racial justice. Our history is rooted in the Civil Rights and Women’s movements, and we are stewards carrying the fight for equity forward.

We continue to work every day to organize, train, and mobilize with communities to ensure equity and justice for all Black and Brown children and youth. With our work centered on young people, we will make a lasting difference in their lives.
