Mission

TO PROVIDE FAMILY MEMBERS AND PROFESSIONALS WITH THE TOOLS, RESOURCES AND SERVICES TO BUILD SUCCESSFUL FAMILIES.

  • Family Life Education Staff and contracted educators present workshops and courses on numerous positive parenting topics to various groups throughout Tarrant County that are evidence-based or evidence-informed. We provide quality instruction on effective, nonviolent child-rearing practices so parents and caregivers can feel positive about their relationships with their children. Classes are offered free or on a sliding scale for Tarrant County residents. The classes offered can be sponsored by groups such as churches, PTAs, etc. Fees for these classes are negotiable. Grants from foundations and corporations make it possible for the Center to offer reduced-cost and free programs to individuals. Parent Coaching The Parent Coaching program utilizes trained educators to coach parents on challenging behaviors they may be experiencing through evidence-based practices (including Trust-Based Relational Intervention and Nurturing Parenting). The program will increase trust between caregivers/parents and their kids while giving them the tools to talk with their kids in a way they can appreciate and understand. It serves families who have children between the ages of 3 and 16 through in-office, virtual, or in-home visits to best meet the needs of clients. Funding is provided through foundation grants and sliding fee scales for clients. Future First The Future First project is designed to empower and help teens (grades 9-12) to think about their future. This project focuses on all aspects of a teens well-being including knowing themselves, relationships today, what healthy relationships are, and pregnancy, STIs, and HIV. This project serves youth through Tarrant County high schools and other community-based organizations for those who may be at a higher risk of having faced an Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE). Funding is provided by a PREP Competitive grant through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. FAMILY TRANSITIONS PROGRAM - THE PROGRAM PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT TO FAMILIES RAISING CHILDREN BETWEEN TWO HOMES. SERVICES ARE OFFERED TO PARENTS, BLENDED FAMILIES, GRANDPARENTS AND CHILDREN. THE PROGRAM INCLUDES CLASSES, COUNSELING, CONSULTATION, MEDIATION, AND CO-PARENTING COACHING. EMPOWERING FAMILIES - THE CENTER PROVIDES MARRIAGE/RELATIONSHIP CLASSES AND OTHER SERVICES TO STRENGTHEN AND STABILIZE FAMILIES. THE TARGET POPULATION FOR THESE SERVICES IS LOW-INCOME FAMILIES, REFUGEES, TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE FOR NEEDY FAMILIES (TANF) RECIPIENTS, AND THOSE ELIGIBLE OF RECEIVING TANF. FUNDING FOR THIS PROGRAM COMES FROM A COMMUNITY-CENTERED HEALTHY MARRIAGE AND RELATIONSHIP GRANT PROVIDED THROUGH THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.

What this page reflects

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 29 October 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2025, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
