Support Texas Children | Donate to Upbring

A child takes a deep breath in a place that finally feels safe. Another begins the school year with a backpack full of supplies they’ve never had before, and for the first time, hope outweighs worry. An infant sleeps peacefully in a new bed because a foster parent has the support they need to keep them safe and loved.

These moments happen because of you.

When you give to Upbring, you protect children, strengthen families and support the wellbeing of communities across Texas.

“We give to Upbring because God has blessed us with such a great life, and we want to do our part to share those blessings with others.”

— Larry and Carolyn Ohls

"I believe in giving every child the chance to have a safe home, someone who believes in them, and a future they can look forward to. Upbring’s mission to end the cycle of abuse and neglect speaks to me."

— Daniel James

“I support BeREAL because of the all-encompassing support it gives to youth aging out of foster care. Not only is a safe place to live provided, but they are given time to develop life skills and seek a higher education giving them a better chance for success in adulthood.”

— Kathy Gerhardt

Our story began 138 years ago, born out of a deep commitment to serve as a nurturing, supportive force for good in the lives of children and families in Texas.

That story continues today as we practice what we call generational innovation—holistic, sustainable solutions that increase child wellness, vitality and safety, both today and across generations.

We remain steadfast in our commitment to all Texas children and families—one that is longstanding, innovative and designed to “bring up” children just as our predecessors have done throughout our history.
