Request for Proposals

Since 1995, CACTX has established our leadership to effectuate change, empower communities, and make the safety of children a top priority in every community. CACTX and our network of children’s advocacy centers (CACs) have helped over one million children and their families impacted by crime achieve safety, justice, and healing in their most significant time of need. To create a Texas in which all children can thrive and reach their full potential, CACTX employs a dual approach of pursuing justice and healing for child victims of crime and is leading the charge to prevent child sexual abuse.

CACTX supports the network of Texas CACs the largest and strongest in the country by providing a range of services, assistance, and actions aimed at supporting the implementation of the CAC model across the state with fidelity to and in accordance with the Texas Standards for children’s advocacy centers and the Texas Family Code Chapter 264, Subchapter E.

As CACTX continues to scale our footprint to support high quality services to all children requiring our care and strengthen the skills, functioning, and leadership of all Texas CACs and thousands of multidisciplinary partners, we also recognize the opportunities upstream and are leading effective strategies that specifically target the prevention of sexual abuse.
