Services

The goal at Gill Children’s Services is simple: to provide as many children with critical services as our resources will allow. Gill allocated $890,398 to provide 3,938 critical services benefiting 2,078 children in Tarrant County last year. This represents a significant increase in need. In the last five years, we have allocated 140% more financial aid. Tarrant County's rapid population growth, inflationary pressures, and Gill's increased visibility have all contributed to a surge in applications for our financial assistance.

Funding

The Gill Children's Services program is funded solely by the community, without state or federal funding. Fewer than 300 donors generously support the organization annually. Gifts of any size are carefully leveraged to have the greatest impact.

Gill partners with local providers such as dentists, hospitals, and companies to provide services to children. Last year Gill secured an average provider discount of 69%, resulting in over $2.2 million in savings. Through these discounts, every $1 that is donated as a $3.18 impact.

For the first time in years, requests for help are outpacing our contributions from supporters. Last year there was a $380,000 gap between donations and the costs of running the program. Gill's board of directors elected to cover most of the gap by drawing down on its assets, but continuing at this rate will put the mission in jeopardy. The generosity of the community is needed now more than ever.
