From the Board Chair

HILDA GALVAN

March marks Women’s History Month in the United States. What began as a singular day in 1978 evolved into Women’s History week in 1980, declared by President Jimmy Carter. Eventually, Congress passed a resolution making it a month-long celebration in 1987. Taking a moment to reflect on the achievements of women, I would like to celebrate the impact Texas Women’s Foundation made over the tenure of my board-term.

In July 2021, I began my term as Chair of the Texas Women’s Foundation Board of Directors. The 87th Texas Legislature had concluded with a record 48 women in office – approximately 26.67% of all representation. Families continued to struggle with pandemicimpacted child care and burnout, leading to an exodus of women from the workforce. People turned to Texas Women’s Foundation for answers. Texas Women’s Foundation launched the 2022 Economic Issues for Women in

Texas – the first research findings that began to unfurl COVID impacts on women. The Economic Leadership Council came together to create and implement best practices and policies to keep employees – particularly mothers – in their workforces. The Foundation continued to implement programming for women and girls, empowering their leadership potential and building the pipeline of leaders that Texas needs.

“I am honored to have held the Chair position at Texas Women’s Foundation.”

The Foundation disbursed more than $9.8 million in grants since July 2021. We made strategic investments in child care access to combat the increasing closures of child care centers in North Texas and across the state. TXWF invested more than one million dollars in child care between 2021 – 2023. As eviction bans lifted, the Foundation made more than one million dollars of investment in stable housing all over the state.

Advocating for Texas Women & Girls

Did you know that the only constitutional requirement for Texas lawmakers is to pass a two-year budget each legislative session? Though it is the only requirement, lawmakers will work until May 29, 2023, to pass laws that represent the interests of community stakeholders and constituents. However, budget creators for the 20242025 biennium have an especially large task this session: allocating an expected $32.7 billion budget surplus.

On Monday, January 9, 2023, Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar revealed the

state’s biennial revenue estimate – an expected $32.7 billion in budget surplus – the largest increase in state history. When accounting for constitutional spending limits, Texas will see a 26 percent increase in dollars from the last budget cycle. Texas Women’s Foundation will advocate at the Capitol to ensure that all possible funding will go towards providing comprehensive support for women and their families.

The Foundation will continue to highlight our research and promote

The Foundation doubled down on advocacy. TXWF Chief Strategy Officer, Dena Jackson, Ph.D., and Director of Advocacy and Policy, Laura Atlas Kravitz, presented researching findings to lawmakers at the 88th Texas Legislature. There are currently 54 female legislators – nearly 29% - a new record that we hope will be shattered in the next legislative session.

And, finally, we celebrated one year with Miki Woodard as our CEO. She joined as the Foundation – and the world - transitioned back into meeting in person. During her first year, Miki focused on centering the needs of the employees, increased TXWF staff to match the growing, nuanced needs of Texas women and girls.

In April, the Foundation continues the celebration of Texan women with the Leadership Forum & Awards Celebration. I hope you will join us on April 27th to celebrate seven amazing women who are making tangible, positive impact in their communities across the state.

I am honored to have held the Chair position at Texas Women’s Foundation. In July, I hand off this prestigious role to Board Member and incoming Chair, Carrie Freeman Parsons. I look forward to the history Texas Women’s Foundation will make under Carrie’s leadership.

the four economic pillars of success: equitable access to child care, health care, stable housing and education. However, this session, TXWF legislative work will prioritize advocacy in child care and health care.

Based on conversations with state leadership, lawmakers understand that for the Texas economy to succeed, there must be increased access to child care and health care for all Texas women and their families.

From the President & CEO

A little over a year ago, I accepted the job of President and CEO of Texas Women’s Foundation. At that time, women and their families continued to reel from the pandemic and its prolonged effects. The world moved into ‘post-COVID’ status, but it was clear that the longterm impacts of the pandemic were not going anywhere. The Foundation staff had been juggling their own lock-down worlds – many mothers worked from home without child care while others cared for vulnerable family members. The Board of Directors acted to support their staff, as women were thinking about the workplace, work culture and obligations at home in different ways.

Like the generations of women who created and sustained the Texas Women’s Foundation mission, the call to action was undeniable. Many women worked hard and sacrificed to ensure I was prepared to meet this moment. I did not step into this challenge alone. A dynamic staff, Board of Directors and community rallied around the Foundation’s efforts to support women

and girls. So – as we do – we went to work.

Last spring, the Foundation honored seven amazing Texas women at the Leadership Forum & Awards Celebration. In the fall, the Foundation reached over 2,000 people at the Annual Luncheon with keynote speaker Allyson Felix and moderator Cynt Marshall. The Foundation’s two annual fundraising events garnered more than $1.5 million in support from all over the state. These events played a large role in TXWF disbursing more than $7.1 million in grants to 223 nonprofit organizations throughout the year.

members – from across the political spectrum – at the State Capitol.

Finally, TXWF launched a $1.25 million campaign to increase access to reproductive health care across Texas, particularly in rural and underserved areas. In December, $487,125 was granted to eight community organizations from the Reproductive Freedom Initiative, supporting mental health, contraceptive, and health care access in rural and underserved communities across Texas.

Together, the TXWF staff hired eight critical, full-time staff members, including our first Director of Advocacy and Policy. The Foundation launched an updated COVID-19 Economic Issues for Women in Texas report. Using our research, TXWF engaged in grassroots advocacy efforts to reach elected officials ensuring the voices of women and girls across the state were being heard. Last month, the Foundation engaged nearly 100 elected officials and their staff

I am so proud of what the Foundation has accomplished with the support of an amazing staff, Board of Directors, and community. As I reflect on what my hopes were for my first year as President and CEO, I can confidently say that the Foundation not only stayed the course, but we are also creating new paths to expand our influence which results in measurable impact. I am thrilled with our newfound focus on advocacy and policy, and the Foundation is carefully preparing to mobilize even more support for women, girls and families across Texas.

As we finish celebrating Black History Month and transition to Women’s History Month, I thank you for standing with me and with Texas Women’s Foundation as we work to make Texas more equitable for all.

Strong women. Better world.

Thousands of bills have already been filed with hundreds related to child care and health care. The Foundation actively monitors bills and identifies key legislation to champion. Director of Advocacy and Policy, Laura Atlas Kravitz, establishes relationships with child care access stakeholders across the state. Whether advocacy groups, legislators, or businesses, TXWF research has been used to highlight that child care is an increasingly vital work support service for Texans and their families. Recently, Speaker of the House Dade Phelan has

announced a renewed effort to expand postpartum Medicaid eligibility to 12 months. For years, TXWF has championed an expansion of post-partum Medcaid. Research makes it clear that healthcare

coverage is directly correlated with a reduction in post-partum complications and deaths.

At any moment, policy and priorities can change at the Texas legislative session. Stay proactive in advocating for issues impacting women and girls. Join the Foundation’s grassroots advocacy work by signing up for important updates and calls to action throughout the spring.

Texas Women’s Foundation Hosts 37th Annual Luncheon

37 th Aual LuNcheon

Texas Women’s Foundation raced to raise nearly $1M in support of women and girls at its 37th Annual Luncheon on October 6th at the Dallas Hilton Anatole. With the theme of Transforming Texas, the event featured Allyson Felix, the most decorated American Track & Field Olympian of all time. Felix was joined in conversation with Dallas Maverick’s CEO Cynt Marshall. They spoke to their shared love of track (both ran track), sports, motherhood, role models and transformation.

Back in-person for the first time since 2020, the Luncheon convened more than 1,000 community members in the ballroom and 200 North Texas students who enjoyed the event livestream.

The Annual Luncheon is the Foundation’s principal event in support of its work to advance women’s economic security, leadership, education, health and safety in Texas.

Reproductive Health Matters

Texas Women’s Foundation knows that reproductive health is an important part of women’s health. The freedom to easily access contraception, preventive services, pregnancy-related care, and screenings is vital to women and girls across the state. Health care impacts mental health and has implicit economic security ramifications. As such, reproductive health is part of the Foundation’s Health Care Initiative and is included in a broader focus on economic security, along with housing, education and child care.

In response to growing challenges to access health care in urban and rural areas, the Health Care Access Reproductive Freedom Initiative launched in the summer of 2022. Texas Women’s Foundation awarded grants totaling $487,125 to address women’s reproductive health needs and the challenges facing women in the state, especially in west and south Texas. The grants impact a significant geographic portion of the state by supporting services for women in an area that extends from the tip of the Panhandle to the State’s southern border and along the Gulf Coast.

The Initiative’s focus on the rural areas mirrors Texas’ health workforce shortages and the resulting impact is significant.

One reproductive health grant provides support for a clinic to increase the hours of availability for specialty medical OB/GYN care in a county without a single OB/GYN. Other grants support the efforts of the grantee to recruit, retain and grow health-related talent in geographic areas with a limited pool of applicants. Education and communitybased relationships are both vital to understanding reproductive health and funding for community health educators. One grantee needed support for Promotoras, who are local providers that develop relationships based on trust,

often peer-to-peer, and she provides education that is medically accurate and culturally and linguistically appropriate. This will directly impact women in the most rural and isolated communities including the plains of West Texas and the colonias along the border.

A priority for the Initiative is removing barriers to reproductive health services and increasing the immediacy of providing reproductive health services for women. Some TXWF funding is to expand exam rooms and expedite labs, so that multiple visits to a clinic can be eliminated. In rural areas, one visit can mean hours of travel and waiting, and thus discourage initial or return visits. In addition, the Foundation granted funds to build an inventory of the most desired and long-lasting contraceptives in one rural county, thus eliminating wait times and return trips to pick up a product. Our grants also alleviated financial barriers to access for services and products, often

brought about by the administrative burdens of the very programs designed to provide the financial assistance needed.

There is so much need across the state, and Texas Women’s Foundation is committed to the Health Care Reproductive Freedom Initiative, with additional grants of more than $500,000 to be awarded this spring.

New Research Reveals Women’s Issues in Texas

Texas has 14.6 million women and girls. That means only three states have a greater total population than Texas has women. While many Texas women are thriving, many more continue to face challenges when it comes to key pillars of financial security—education, child care, health insurance and stable housing. This is what Texas Women’s Foundation found in our fourth edition of Economic

Issues for Women in Texas 2022

This newest report not only provides updates on the four pillars of economic security the Foundation has been tracking since 2014, but also outlines new issues around digital access, cost of caregiving, workforce retention and eviction. As women of color comprise 59 percent of Texas women, the study also examines the economic status of Texas women through an intersected lens of gender, race and ethnicity, and identifies opportunities for change and policy recommendations.

The pandemic highlighted how the hard work of Texas women plays an integral

role in the state’s economic prosperity. Still, Texas women face economic barriers such as pay inequity, college loan debt, access to affordable child care, lack of health insurance and housing cost burdens. Women of color and single mothers are disproportionately impacted by these economic hurdles.

Gonzalez, Ed.D., Director for Institutional Policy and Practice of the Diana Natalicio Institute for Hispanic Student Success and Executive Director of the Alliance for Hispanic Serving Research Universities. These esteemed panelists used TXWF research as a starting point to highlight the local issues El Pasoans are facing, with a particular emphasis on child care and education.

Dena L. Jackson, Ph.D., Chief Strategy Officer at TXWF spearheaded the September research release kick-off event at Texas Woman’s University in Dallas. Additionally, Dr. Jackson was featured at the Women’s Fund of El Paso’s Advocacy Power Breakfast on a

Most recently, the Foundation hosted “Texas Women AND the Texas Economy and Tacos!” for legislative staff at the Texas State Capitol. The session was well attended by legislators and aides – from a spectrum of political positions – with more than 60 people showing up to hear the Foundation’s research findings on women in Texas. The Foundation is poised to have high quality touch points with the 88th Texas Legislature under the direction of Laura Atlas Kravitz, Director of Advocacy and Policy.

Many thanks to everyone who has attended, listened and read Economic Issues for Women in Texas 2022. The report is available for reference at www.txwfecoissues.org and the Foundation hopes it will continue to inform personal, corporate and legislative policy issues.
