About RAISE Texas
RAISE Texas is a statewide network of non-profit organizations, for-profit corporations, and public institutions working to support and expand asset-building activities in Texas, with a particular focus on low- and moderate-income families and areas. RAISE Texas is committed to raising the financial success of Texans through expanded asset-building activities, including financial education, individual development accounts (IDAs), children's savings accounts, and community tax centers, that lead to increased economic security for individuals, families and communities.
To support this goal, RAISE Texas provides training and technical assistance, connects individuals and communities to information and resources, and convenes meetings and conferences at the local and state level in support of the increased financial success of our residents.

Currently RAISE Texas is focused on four main activities:
- Expand economic opportunity for every Texan by supporting local, state and federal policies focused on asset building.
- Continue the progress on the four action campaigns: alternative small dollar consumer loan products and policies, community tax centers and EITC, expanding access to education, and matched savings accounts.
- Provide resources and technical assistance to Texas organizations and institutions interested in starting or expanding asset-building activities in their communities.
- Connect Texans to asset-building activities near their homes through an online interactive database.
