ALIGNED IMPACT

 

Through multi-year partnerships, we bring together nonprofit, government and business leaders to tackle challenges ingrained in our community. Our Aligned Impact team currently provides “backbone” support for two initiatives: Good Measure and a child welfare collaborative.

CHILD WELFARE

 

Through this collaborative, we’ve convened nonprofit, private and government partners to seek solutions to the challenges our community’s foster care system faces.

 

The Travis County Collaborative for Children

The Travis County Collaborative for Children (TCCC) is an intensive, innovative and impactful initiative with over 50 committed partner organizations, representing the courts, child protective services, juveniles’ justice advocates, schools, medical providers, faith communities, child welfare organizations and philanthropists. Aimed at system-wide change to the way foster children in Travis County are cared for during, and after, their time in state custody, the TCCC is working collectively towards three major goals:

14090
 
Goal #1

Children will be in foster care no longer
than two years

14105
 
Goal #2

Children will experience no more than two placements in foster care.

14106
 
Goal #3

200 new foster families recruited to be an available healing placement for every child

Foster Community

14114

Born out of the TCCC, Foster Community, a foster family and volunteer recruitment initiative, is addressing the above goals by working to increase the number and diversity of healing families in Central Texas. Partnering with the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation, St. David’s Foundation and a network of organizations dedicated to serving children in care, together we can change the way we think about foster care and how we develop solutions.
