Katy Bourgeois
Vice President of Systems Advancement
Katy joined TACFS as the Vice President of Systems Advancement in April 2021. Before joining the team, Katy served as the Director of Aligned Impact at Mission Capital, where she managed a team responsible for implementing and advising cross-sector collaborative projects designed to address complex community problems. At Mission Capital, Katy led the development and growth of the Travis County Collaborative for Children – a high-impact, cross-sector collaborative designed to bring healing and permanency to children in foster care. In addition, she facilitated the creation of Foster Community, a collaborative initiative aimed at increasing the number and diversity of healing kinship, adoptive and foster families in Central Texas.
Prior to Mission Capital, Katy worked with nonprofit and government organizations as an independent consultant, specializing in grant writing, fund and program development, and building government/nonprofit partnerships that expanded service capacity and increased impact. Her expertise in these areas came from work within state agencies where she conducted program evaluations for the Legislative Budget Board, provided fiscal policy analysis to the Governor of Texas, and managed activities related to federal fund development and strategic planning for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. In addition, Katy worked with the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services to oversee a study of services to adults with autism in Texas and review recommendations for pilot projects to address gaps in services. She also worked with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to design a method for distributing $7.2 million in federal funding to support pilot programs targeted at providing home visitation services to at-risk infants and children.
Katy received a MSW from The University of Texas and a BA in Psychology from Mount Holyoke College.
