Freedom from Family Violence
Texas Council on Family Violence Inc centers its giving on domestic and family violence prevention, with recent grants repeatedly supporting survivor services, crisis response, and legal or advocacy work across Texas. The pattern is highly consistent: the same organizations appear in multiple years, often at the same grant level, suggesting ongoing support rather than isolated awards. The largest recent grant listed is $86,000 to Grayson Crisis Center in Sherman for domestic violence prevention, and The Family Place Dallas received $85,000 in 2025 for domestic abuse prevention. Those awards sit within a broader portfolio that also includes county offices, crisis centers, and family-service organizations working with survivors and families affected by abuse. The foundation’s published focus areas include prevention programming, survivor support services, policy and advocacy, training and technical assistance, and data and research. In practice, the recent grants show those priorities translated into direct service funding for local providers and public-facing institutions involved in response and prevention work. With annual grants of $2,258,892 and assets of $12,629,601, the foundation operates at a scale that supports a steady local grantmaking program tied closely to family-violence services.
Domestic violence prevention is the clearest thread in the grant list. Texas Council on Family Violence Inc gave $55,000 to The Bridge Over Troubled Water in Pasadena in 2025 for domestic abuse prevention, and $55,000 to Safehaven of Tarrant County in Arlington in 2024 for domestic violence prevention. Survivor-support organizations also appear frequently, including $30,000 to Genesis Womens in Dallas in 2024 for domestic violence prevention and $30,000 to Family Crisis Center in Harlingen in 2025 for domestic violence prevention. The foundation also backs public institutions involved in response and legal protection. It granted $55,000 to Brazos County District Attorney's Office in Bryan in both 2023 and 2024 for domestic violence prevention, and $55,000 to Travis County District in Austin in 2023 and 2024 for domestic violence prevention or domestic abuse prevention. Training-adjacent and counseling-related work shows up as well: Familitytime Crisis & Counseling Center in Humble received $36,034 in 2024 for crisis and counseling services.
