Raise Texas

RAISE Texas is a statewide coalition of nonprofits, financial institutions, post-secondary programs, public agencies, community leaders and direct service providers, including financial coaches and counselors, community health workers, social workers and case managers, all united around the common goal of building financial security and economic mobility for low- and moderate-income Texans. Our vision for building financial security in Texas starts with understanding the reality that too many Texans work hard every day to provide for their families but can barely make ends meet. We acknowledge the pervasive systemic racism that has exacerbated the racial wealth divide and left families to struggle financially through no fault of their own. Within this framework, RAISE Texas is focused on providing the tools, resources and support to help Texans overcome the many barriers to becoming financially resilient, while also addressing the systems and policies that keep Texans from getting ahead, building assets and achieving economic mobility. We equip, innovate and advocate to reduce racial wealth disparities, remove barriers and build opportunities for low- and moderate-income Texans to have financial security and economic mobility.
