Through these collaborations, we continue to lead the effort to ensure all child advocacy organizations speak with one voice. The Child Protection Roundtable (CPRT) is our largest collaboration statewide, which brings together research experts, advocates, and program providers from 40 organizations with child protection expertise to develop a consensus public policy agenda and to advocate for child protection with one voice. Founded in 2012, the Texas Home Visiting Consortium's goal (THVC) is to increase the awareness of evidence-based home visiting in Texas as a child abuse prevention strategy, and to coordinate legislative advocacy efforts to increase investments in order to reach more families in need. The TexProtects Public Policy Committee works to identify issues and introduce broad-scale systemic changes needed to improve the Texas child protection and judicial systems as well as ways to bring evidence-based child abuse prevention programs to scale statewide. Additionally, TexProtects' leadership serves on the Texas Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) Statewide Leadership Board, a collaboration of high-level appointees from each of the 13 Nurse-Family Partnership Steering Committee's sites across the state. 84353 700 0 Education: The legislative priorities identified during our extensive research process create the platform for educating hundreds of elected officials as well as thousands of our member advocates, including legislative decision makers, child protection professionals, and the public at large. TexProtects also engages with community organizations to implement child abuse and neglect prevention strategies. "HOPES" (Healthy Outcomes through Prevention of Early Support) is a statewide child abuse and prevention program that was established by the 83rd Legislature. TexProtects' comprehensive, multidisciplinary and integrated child abuse prevention and family strengthening ecosystem design was chosen as the Dallas funded HOPES framework and roadmap. TexProtects consults with the grant contractor, United Way of Metropolitan Dallas (UWMD), to implement the local project in three targeted west Dallas zip codes. Our "Home Visiting Campaign" is a comprehensive marketing and public awareness strategy to elevate the understanding, importance of and demand for family support home visiting programs in Texas both to the public as well as legislators and other critical decision makers. With our "Membership" outreach, TexProtects reaches over 9000 advocates that have joined our mission through educational presentations and other community awareness events and who are willing and want to take action on critical child protection priorities. These advocates join us for advocacy days at the capitol, attend legislative visits with us, and respond to critical calls of action during every legislative session, furthering our mission and reach in the community to better protect children. Through how to advocate seminars and trainings, members are offered an advanced level of comfort in advocating and speaking directly to their legislators through effective strategies and tactics. 83232 250 0 Research: TexProtects conducts in-depth, comprehensive research on the CPS system, risk factors for child maltreatment, and adverse outcomes for abused children. Our research is the foundation for identifying issues, recognizing best practices, and creating a consensus legislative agenda prior to each legislative session. The ZipRisk Project (a Child Maltreatment Zip Code-Level Risk Assessment) as developed in 2015. TexProtects formed a partnership with Alliance Data, its Epsilon business, and the University of Texas at Dallas to develop an online design project to identify areas across Texas where families are at the greatest risk for child maltreatment. To accompany the ZipRisk map, TexProtects continued a statewide resource assessment by developing the third annual statewide family support home visiting survey to develop a comprehensive landscape of where these critical child abuse prevention and family support programs are located across Texas. This research demonstrates the true need for further expansion of these evidence-based programs. Our annual home visiting reports and research, along with ZipRisk, are valuable tools used by a variety of audiences including legislators, private funders, and providers themselves, guiding them as to where they should invest child abuse prevention resources across the state of Texas. 58816 0 0 Other programs including the Home Visit Campaign. 58816 0 0 534625 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 5 0 1 10 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 6 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 X X Sophie Phillips 2144421672 2904 Floyd St Dallas TX 75204 John Castle Jr Chairman 2.00 0 X X 0 0 0 Anne Crews Secretary 2.00 0 X X 0 0 0 Eric Laub Treasurer 1.0 0 X X 0 0 0 Dick Roggof Member 1.0 0 X 0 0 0 Connie Wilson Public Policy Committee Chair 1.0 0 X X 0 0 0 Madeline McClure Chief Executive Officer 40 0 X X 66190 0 2226 66190 0 2226 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 439791 0 0 383971 17699 823762 0 0 0 0 0 37800 435495 49289 -11489 0 -11489 74 0 74 0 0 74 0 812347 0 0 -11415 2450 2450 68416 41049 3421 23946 410760 325448 39022 46290 15167 10699 1881 2587 550 0 550 0 38831 29775 3393 5663 4203 0 4203 0 900 900 0 0 6765 6765 1035 0 1035 0 51097 35451 1835 13811 43768 13932 13514 16322 19092 17405 1687 0 11252 10319 549 384 39266 37726 651 889 3916 3680 236 0 1523 1185 169 169 750 0 750 0 Give Aways 4970 674 0 4296 Exhibits/Registrations 4009 3932 77 0 Bank Fees 5167 0 2433 2734 Research Support 1500 0 1500 0 735387 534625 76906 123856 100000 258123 22525 4892 27008 13608 13400 100000 298940 5846 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5846 X 100000 239568 0 53526 0 0 100000 293094 100000 298940 X 76960 0 0 0 0 116134 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 0 0 0 100000 823762 923762 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 100000 823762 923762 299196 624566 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 -15711 -15711 908051 -15711 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Net proceeds of -15,785 from special event offset by $74 of raffle proceeds.

Income generated from activities unrelated to the Organization's exempt purposes is subject to tax under IRC Section 511. The Organization had no unrelated business income for the year ended December 31, 2015. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income tax in the accompanying financial statements. GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Organization's tax return and recognition of a tax liability (or asset) if the Organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Organization, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2015, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements.

With board and officers this was enforced more informally by verbally requesting any conflicts of interest. Before a person can be a board member, they must conclude they have no conflict of interest. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 18 Form 990 is available for pubic inspection on Guidestar.

Form 990, Part XI, Line 9 The Dallas Foundation administered a designated fund for the sole benefit of TexProtects. At the end of calendar year 2014, the agency received its own tax exempt status recognition from the IRS. Therefore, TexProtects was eligible to receive funds directly from the general public. The Dallas Foundation initially granted Texprotects $100,000 from the designated fund to start operations. The remaining net assets still needed to be transferred. This adjustment reflects the remaining balance. Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c This is Tex Protects first year of full operation and the first year they have had an audit. The audit was monitored by the full board with presentations made to the board during the selection process. Filed an extension
