Reflecting on a Year of Change, Growth… and 50 Years of Impact
Reflecting on this past year, one thing feels especially true: change has been a constant companion. In the midst of ongoing change, one steady force continues to guide the child- and family-serving system forward: the strength of our community.
Our members and partners continue to innovate, collaborate, and lead with both head and heart. The strategies and systems we rely on today will inevitably evolve, but our shared mission and commitment to Texas children and families is what makes our network truly future-proof.
Our Year in Review
In our 2025 Year in Review, we’re proud to share stories that bring our collective impact to life. You’ll find examples from across the continuum of care. Inside, there’s proof of how dedication and partnership are shaping outcomes for children, youth, and families every day. You’ll also read about our ongoing work to strengthen the child and family wellbeing system through downgranting initiatives and community-centered partnerships. These efforts help us place resources where they matter most: directly in the hands of local communities.
Celebrating 50 Years of the Alliance
This year also carried special meaning with TACFS’ 50th anniversary!
Fifty years ago, a group of leaders came together with a shared belief: that Texas children and families deserve the strongest possible network of support. That belief has been the foundation of our work ever since. It has guided us through times of growth and through times of change.
As we look ahead, we can’t help but imagine what the next 50 years might bring. What do you think our system will look like in 2075?
