50 for Our 50th

Fifty Years of Advocacy, Education, and Collaboration

The Texas Alliance of Child and Family Services was founded on January 10, 1975 by a group of child care and adoption agency directors who hoped to strengthen Texas’ child care laws. Today, the Alliance is a diverse and trusted provider network. And after its formation in 2000, the Texas Center for Children and Family Studies (the Alliance’s philanthropic arm) has grown into an anchor for child and family wellbeing innovation in Texas, becoming the go-to channel for down granting to direct service providers, as well as a hub for facilitation, training, consultation, and collaboration.
