CARRIE FREEMAN PARSONS

I always enjoy the beginning of the school year when we see so many photos on social media of children going back to school. You can see the excitement in their eyes as they embark on their journey of meeting new friends, renewing relationships and learning new things. I share in their excitement as I start my new journey as Board Chair of Texas Women’s Foundation. This organization’s mission is so important, and I am honored to be chosen to lead the efforts to impact the lives of more women and girls across Texas. I am grateful for the steadfast service and leadership of immediate past chair, Hilda Galvan, and the many incredible women

who have come before me. I’m standing on the shoulders of hundreds of dedicated women who have shaped this organization into what it is now.

As we continue to grow our impact, we will remain focused on our statewide research that informs us of the issues women and girls face in Texas. This will guide our statewide advocacy, programs, strategic initiatives and our community grantmaking. This past fiscal year, we invested more than $7.1M to advance our mission thanks to our generous donors and events. Throughout this newsletter, you will see how these meaningful investments are creating social and economic change for women and girls across Texas.

Never has our work been more important considering the ever-increasing challenges women and girls face in our state. We stand committed to

Welcome New TXWF Board Members

partnering with donors, corporations and communities to positively impact the financial stability of women and girls for generations to come.

“Never has our work been more important considering the everincreasing challenges women and girls face in our state.”

We are so grateful for all of you who have joined this movement and we invite any who have not to join forces with us. As the foremost authority addressing the challenges women and girls across our state face, it is imperative that we have a collective force to create necessary change. Supported by an incredible board and staff who care deeply and are committed to this work, I am certain that my journey as Chair will be rewarding. Better yet, by beginning our journey together, we will undoubtedly accomplish vital, impactful work.

Texas Women’s Foundation is proud to welcome new and old friends of the Foundation to lead the mission impacting women and girls across the state. Our new board members are Elizabeth Asturi, Lisette Mendez and Aracely Muñoz. Returning to the board are Michelle Hudson and Phyllis Bernstein.

From the Interim President & CEO

DENA JACKSON, PH.D.

Greetings to all as we are nearing the downhill part of a hot Texas summer. At Texas Women’s Foundation, we celebrated our new year on July 1 and that means we get to share with you the newest year-end Foundation achievements. We are excited about the ways the Foundation continues to have an important, positive impact on the lives of women and girls across Texas that are only possible with your help. This annual report provides an unqualified YES! to the question of whether Texas Women’s Foundation is statewide.

In September 2022, we launched the fourth edition of Economic Issues for Women in Texas 2022 that continued to shine a light on areas of strength and difficulty in the lives of women across the state. We used the policy recommendations of that report during

“I support Texas Women and Texas Women’s Foundation now because of the ongoing need to provide resources to women and girls across all communities in the state, regardless of their background or the zip code where they live. TXWF acts as a bridge to many communities where access and equity to health resources, child care, housing and economic security are simply out of reach for too many women and their families.”

Aracely Muñoz

the recent 88th Texas Legislature to talk about maternal Medicaid, the Pink Tax, reducing evictions and more. TXWF was more active than ever and in concert with important partners like Texas Housers, Healthy Futures Texas and Young Invincibles we spoke out on these issues and had some important wins.

“If you are not funding advocacy, you are overlooking a powerful and proven strategy for achieving your foundation’s mission.”

Luz Marquis, Marguerite Casey Foundation

Statewide advocacy has been a key part of our work for nearly 10 years. TXWF started down the advocacy path because we know that large-scale, systemic problems require multifaceted approaches to resolve. We know that there will never be enough philanthropic funding to make the long-term changes that need to be made in our state and nation. For all of you who have written letters and made calls to your elected officials in response to Army of Advocates alerts, I say, “Brava!” Keep it up because even when the legislature is not in session, there is much work being done. If you did not write letters

or make calls, do not worry. Sign up for the Army of Advocates using the website or QR code in this newsletter and we will add you to the thousands of TXWF supporters who are receiving easy to follow, timely calls to action.

TXWF is now supporting programs in over 25 communities across the state including the Panhandle, West Texas, South Texas/Rio Grande Valley and East Texas. I am proud of moving forward in true partnership with our donors and grantees. In this newsletter, you will meet some donors and grantees who, like you, are passionate about improving the lives of women and families. Of course, we cannot leave out the staff who make it happen every day. In this newsletter you will also find introductions to some of the people who raise the funds, review and award the grants, pay our bills and generally keep the office running smoothly. We will be continuing this series on Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram so follow along!

Thank you all for helping us and working with us to build the strong Texas that we know is possible; a Texas that includes opportunity for women and families; a Texas for today and tomorrow. All of us at TXWF are ready for this new year!

Why does Hunt invest in Texas Women’s Foundation?

“Community is one of our core values and an extremely important part of our corporate culture. We believe that we have a shared responsibility to give back to the communities where we live and work. As a part of the Dallas and broader Texas community for almost 90 years, our long-term partnership with Texas Women’s Foundation gives us a meaningful platform to drive change for women, girls, and families in our state.”

How does supporting women and girls impact our communities?

“When we support the financial security of women and girls, we are supporting the backbone of the majority of families in Texas. In other words, when we invest in women and girls, we are strategically leveraging our support and resources to build a better society overall. Research conducted by TXWF and others clearly shows that a focused effort is needed, including financial support, advocacy, and education, to meet the challenges facing women.”

Donor Spotlight

88th Texas Legislative Session and TXWF was there!

As a supporter of Texas Women’s Foundation, you know that research is the cornerstone of our work. It is only through truly understanding the issues impacting women, girls and families across Texas that we are able to work with donors and community partners to improve lives and futures. The research is important for grantmaking, and also informs advocacy and policy actions. TXWF knows that large-scale, systemic problems require multifaceted approaches to resolve, and that is why the Foundation has long included policy advocacy as a mechanism for change to leverage philanthropic grants to direct service agencies.

The complexity of policy advocacy is never more apparent than during Texas’ biennial legislative session, like the recent 88th Legislature that met this year. Going into session, TXWF had two primary policy areas of focus. First, women’s healthcare, including maternal mortality, access to contraception and health care. The second area was housing stability, including eviction prevention, tenant rights and housing choice voucher usage. The Foundation closely watched, and spoke out against, bills that discriminated based on gender, gender identity, sexual orientation and gender expression.

Passed!!

• HB12 (Rose) increased eligibility for postpartum Medicaid from 60 days to 12 months. To become final, it must now be accepted by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. There is a possibility that DHHS will not accept the bill due to language surrounding “pregnancies [that] end in the delivery of the child or end in the natural loss of the child.”

• SB379 (Huffman) removed the state sales tax on menstrual products, baby diapers and maternity clothes.

TXWF Young Women’s Advisory Committee developed a brochure on the “Pink Tax” for attendees at #BestSelf that was distributed to over 200 attendees. In addition, the Dallas Morning News printed a TXWF OpEd on April 23, 2023 in support of the repeal of the tax that was included in the daily news clipping for all state legislators.

But it was not all work and no play! Building relationships for future legislative sessions was also a priority. The Foundation had opportunities to meet with many legislators and their staff at Coffee Night that we co-sponsored with like-minded groups to make sure those working late on the budget stayed awake and focused. On International Women’s Day they hand delivered yellow roses to women senators and representatives. And as the session was getting closer to sine die (session adjournment), TXWF co-hosted a “Flower Truck” on May 15 for all legislative staff to say thank you with flowers.

The Foundation was also honored to be recognized on the Senate floor on International Women’s Day. A Senate Resolution,

• SB222 (Nichols) guarantees, for the first time, that state employees have paid parental leave without using all paid time off accrued.

• HB916 (Ordaz) requires insurance companies to cover a full year of prescription contraceptives at refill.

• HB1193 (Turner) prohibits homeowners’ associations from banning use of housing choice vouchers in a neighborhood. Note that landlords can still discriminate against prospective tenants based on HCVs and 93 percent of landlords do not accept them.

authored by Senator Nathan Johnson and co-authored by Senators Judith Zaffirini, Sarah Eckhardt, Royce West and Morgan LaMantia, recognized our work for women and girls across the state for 38 years.

There is so much more to report; were there losses? Yes. But let’s celebrate for a while as we continue to advance policies that improve the lives of women, girls, families and build a stronger Texas. The repercussions of the 88th Legislative Session are not over, so join our Army of Advocates at txwf.org/ advocacy/ to stay informed and make sure your voice is heard in Austin and around Texas.

Here is a brief update on some bills you may be interested in:

Economic Leadership Council Welcomes New Leadership

Making Dallas an Even Better Place

Texas Women’s Foundation’s Economic Leadership Council is being led by two dynamic co-chairs Deborah Hunter Johnson and Vanessa Beckstrom. They will guide this group of C-suite women to advocate and support the advancement of women in the workplace. Learn more about their focus areas in this featured article in D CEO below: https://www.dmagazine.com/publications/d-ceo/2023/may/faces-of-leadership-and-advancement/

Faces of Leadership and Advancement

Texas Women’s Foundation.

By May 9, 2023 | 7:00 am Photography by Matthew Shelley

Strong women. Better world. This is the driving philosophy of Texas Women’s Foundation, and the Economic Leadership Council is one powerhouse group that puts this philosophy into practice. The ELC was founded in 2014 to harness the collective power of C-suite executive women to drive advancement of women in corporate leadership. The ELC focuses on the barriers women face: pay equity, workforce policies that support women and men at work, and recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce. The ELC is led by volunteer co-chairs Debra Hunter Johnson, founder of Reciprocity Consulting Group, and Vanessa Salinas Beckstrom, partner at PwC.

In 2013, Texas Women’s Foundation established a leadership initiative investing in women beginning in the classroom and continuing through the corporate boardroom. The ELC was a direct result of that leadership initiative and has since developed and mentored the Women’s Leadership Institute, a program that has provided professional development equipping senior-level women managers to grow in their careers. More than 200 women have completed this program and are eligible for membership in the Women’s Leadership Council, which provides further opportunities to develop their professional networks and leadership learning. Another program resulting from the focus on leadership is the Young Women’s Initiative, equipping young women of color with leadership, philanthropy and advocacy training to amplify their voices in support of local communities.

The Foundation invests in the pipeline of women leaders through the ELC, WLC, and Young Women’s Initiative. In turn, these women leaders support the Foundation’s statewide work that is crucial to advancing its vision of an equitable Texas for all. “Our collective group of strong and smart professional women are committed to the work at Texas Women’s Foundation,” Johnson says. “Helping girls become strong women and preparing women to lead in their lives, workplaces, and communities, make our state a better place for all ”

Adds Beckstrom, “We are advocating for childcare, maternal leave, and other inclusive policies that support families by removing hidden barriers that prevent women from advancing, often to the point where they decide to leave the workforce ”

With the investment from volunteers and supporters, Texas Women’s Foundation is transforming Texas for women and girls by advancing their economic security through research, advocacy, grants, and leadership development programs.

The program builds self-confidence and empowers

girls to challenge stereotypes, use their voice and pursue their dreams to help generate equitable changes in their schools, communities and society.

Why does Comerica

“At Comerica Bank, celebrating, and empowering women does not describe what we try to do, it defines what we do and who we are. Whether it is internally through our employee resource groups which provide networking, mentoring and professional development opportunities for women at our bank, including 52 percent of our managers; or externally, partnering with nonprofits like the Texas Women’s Foundation that make such a profound impact on the lives of women and girls. Comerica is collaborating across all lines of business to be a force for good in the communities where we live and serve.”

How does supporting women and girls impact our communities?

“Our bank remains committed to creating and increasing economic and leadership opportunities for women, girls and families, which will result in stronger and more equitable and sustainable communities for us all.”

TEXAS WOMEN’S FOUNDATION INVESTS $7.1 MILLION TO ADVANCE WOMEN AND GIRLS

Texas Women’s Foundation is advancing positive social change and advances economic security and leadership opportunities for women and girls across Texas. Guided by research that continues to show that women are the face of poverty, over the last year Texas Women’s Foundation has deployed funds to strategic initiatives, programs, granting and advocacyeffor ts that are making change for women statewide. Together with our philanthropic partners - Giving Circles, Donor-Advised Fund holders, and Young Women’s Initiative - the collective impact has funded 197 organizations and distributed $4.9M in grants this fis cal year. In addition, $2.2M was invested in programs that which equip girls to become strong women, and preparing women to lead in their lives, their workplaces and their communities, which in turn makes Texas a better place for all.

$7.1 Million Overall Impact

DALLAS YOUNG WOMEN’S INITIATIVE GRANTS

Each year the Young Women’s Advisory Council (YWAC) awards grants to nonprofits addressing the needs of young women of color. This year’s cohort focused on organizations that support women’s health needs. Women of color, particularly mothers, are more likely to overlook or ignore their health needs, whether from a lack of information and resources, fear, or cultural barriers. The grantees awarded focus on bridging the gap and providing guidance, resources, and support for women so that they may live safe, healthy, and sustainable lives.

Abide Women’s Health Services - $5,000

Provides general operating support to combat healthcare disparities by reducing infant and mortality rates, increasing the number of Black midwives and birth workers of color, and increasing the number of full-term healthy births.

The Bridge Breast Network, Inc - $5,000

Provides general operating support to save lives by supporting affordable access to diagnostic and treatment services for breast cancer to low income, uninsured and underinsured individuals.

Genesis Women’s Shelter & Support - $5,000

In Texas, girls and young women between the ages of 16 and 24 experience the highest rate of intimate partner violence, almost triple the national average. This grant empowers Genesis’ mission to provide safety, shelter and support for women and children who have experienced domestic violence, and to raise awareness regarding its cause, prevalence, and impact.

TEXAS WOMEN’S FOUNDATION AWARDS $907,000

TO HEALTH CARE ACCESS FOR WOMEN ACROSS TEXAS

Texas Women’s Foundation has announced its second set of grants from its Health Care Access Fund to help women and girls access health care in underserved Texas communities in North and East Texas. As part of its Health Care Access Fund, Texas Women’s Foundation launched the Reproductive Freedom Initiative in 2022 to deliver urgent and long-term women’s healthcare programming to communities that desperately need resources.

With eight grants given earlier in the year totaling $487,125 in rural Texas communities, the Foundation has now awarded a total of $907,125 to 15 deserving organizations.

In this round, the Foundation awarded seven grants totaling $420,000 to carefully vetted community health care clinics:

Collins Family Planning Clinic (Fort Worth)

This grant supports 13 healthcare professionals and the purchase of long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCS).

Genesis Prime Care (Marshall)

This grant supports Genesis Prime Care in hiring an OB/GYN, and other health care providers, to conduct gynecological examinations, provide prenatal care and treatment, prescribe contraceptives, order and review lab work, counsel and provide pre-conception patient health education, nutrition and prenatal information.

Gulf Coast Health Center Inc. (GCHC) (Port Arthur)

The grant improves the care for prenatal patients with the purchase of a new updated ultrasound machine to deliver more precise prenatal care at their main location.

Health Services North Texas (Denton)

The grant supports Health Services North Texas’ (HSNT) Reproductive Healthcare Program with the purchase of 50 LARCs and support the cost of 400 family planning, prenatal, obstetric or postpartum medical visits for uninsured, low-income women.

Crossroads Family Clinic (Mount Enterprise)

This grant supports the hiring of a Women’s Health Coordinator/ Community Health Worker to conduct outreach to women about the availability of family planning services, pap smears, cervical cancer screenings and annual health screenings such as mammograms.

Parkland Health Foundation (Dallas)

The grant supports the expansion of the Family Planning program to increase appointment availability, contraception access and informed choice and connecting patients to care.
