Brighter Days (formerly Rainbow Days)

Help Create Brighter Days for Children Across North Texas

Every child deserves a safe place, a caring adult, and the opportunity to build a brighter future.

This North Texas Giving Day, your generosity helps Brighter Days (formerly Rainbow Days) provide hope, healing, and life-changing support to thousands of children, youth, and families facing adversity throughout North Texas.

And this year, your gift goes even further. Thanks to the generosity of our anonymous matching donors, EVERY DONATION will be matched up to the first $30,000!

At Brighter Days, we empower children and youth facing adversity to develop healthy coping skills, break negative cycles, and create opportunities for a promising future. Through evidence-based programs, caring mentors, family support, and positive experiences, we help children build resilience and believe in what's possible.

For more than 45 years, Brighter Days has served children and families throughout Dallas and beyond. Today, we serve over 30,000 children and youth by partnering with more than 100 schools, shelters, community centers, domestic violence shelters, juvenile detention facilities, and other community organizations locally.
