Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

Accredited children's advocacy centers serving child abuse victims statewide in Texas
Forensic interviews, therapy, and victim advocacy for child crime victims
Rural and small-county CACs covering multi-county service areas
Crisis centers and rape crisis programs serving child victims
CASA and family resource centers handling child abuse cases

Typical grant

Median grant is about $676,000, with the middle half between $501,000 and $973,000. The largest checks go to metro-area centers with the highest case volumes: Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio each draw $3 million to $5.5 million a year, while small rural centers in places like Eastland, Alpine, and Sweetwater get $260,000 to $300,000. Giving repeats almost perfectly year over year to the same set of centers, with amounts drifting up or down modestly.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“CHILD VICTIMS OF CRIME SERVICES FOR JUSTICE AND HEALING”
“ABUSED CHILDREN SERVICES”
“CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER”
“CHILD ADVOCACY CENTER”

Positioning adjacent work

Only Texas organizations appear. Work outside Texas has no path here.
Frame any ask around direct services to child victims of crime, not research or prevention.
Connect to the multidisciplinary center model: forensic interviews, therapy, advocacy under one roof.
Size a first ask near the $300,000 to $500,000 rural-center band, not the metro range.

Worth knowing: Every dollar of the $215 million went to Texas, and this functions as a statewide pass-through funding the network of local children's advocacy centers rather than an open-door grantmaker. The same 70 recipients repeat all three years with nearly identical purpose language, so an organization outside that network, or outside the CAC model entirely, is very unlikely to break in.

Top recipients

Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
