NORTH TEXAS TOGETHER
Child wellbeing strengthens families and communities across North Texas.

When children have safe and stable homes, grow up in families with the support they need, and are ready for school, our entire community benefits.

For 150 years, Upbring has worked alongside children, families, and communities across Texas to advance child wellbeing. Today, that work continues across North Texas through early childhood education, foster care, and community-based services that support children and families at critical moments in their lives.

DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT

Generous North Texas supporters have established a $10,000 Leadership Match for North Texas Giving Day. Every gift will be matched dollar for dollar until the full match is met, doubling your impact for children and families across North Texas.

YOUR GIFT AT WORK ACROSS NORTH TEXAS

Together, these programs create a continuum of support that advances child wellbeing, empowers families, and helps children thrive.

Foster In Texas
Helping children find safety, stability, and lasting family connections.

Foster In Texas equips foster and kinship families with the training, resources, and trauma-responsive support they need to care for children. By supporting stable placements, we help children build trusted relationships and move toward permanency.

Early Head Start and Head Start
Helping young children enter school ready to learn.

Upbring Early Head Start and Head Start help children ages 0-5 build the academic, social, and emotional foundations they need for school. By engaging parents and caregivers and connecting families with resources, these programs help extend learning and development beyond the classroom.

Dallas Child Wellbeing Zone
Helping families find support before challenges become crises.

The Dallas Child Wellbeing Zone brings together families, schools, churches, nonprofits, and community partners to strengthen the network of support surrounding children. By identifying needs early and connecting families with individualized, neighborhood-based resources, the Child Wellbeing Zone helps families build stability so children can remain safe and supported. 


ONE COMMUNITY. SUPPORT AT EVERY STEP.
Child wellbeing looks different for every child and family. 

A child may need a strong start in the classroom. Another may need the safety and stability of a foster family. A family may need help with housing, transportation, health care, or other resources to remain stable.

Upbring works across these critical moments because supporting children also means strengthening the families and communities around them.

On North Texas Giving Day, you can be part of that work. Thanks to our $10,000 Leadership Match, every gift will be matched dollar for dollar while matching funds remain available.  Make your gift today and double your impact for children and families across North Texas.
