Families across Fort Worth are working hard to stay stable, but the rising cost of childcare can quickly create financial strain that is difficult to manage.

For many, it becomes a constant tradeoff between earning an income and keeping up with the cost of care. Even while working, families can still find themselves under financial pressure.

Fort Worth Families United helps ease that burden by providing childcare scholarships that make it possible for families to access safe, reliable care while staying employed.

The 2026 Childcare Scholarship Fund expands that support, helping more families across Fort Worth who are working to stay afloat but need help covering the cost of care.

Each contribution helps a family continue working, regain stability, and keep their children in a consistent, supportive environment.
