DescriptionGrantsExpenses
In 2023, Somos Tejas advanced its voter engagement work by conducting door-to-door outreach to approximately 10,000 homes across Oak Cliff and Mesquite to share information about registration, early voting, and polling locations. The organization also carried out community improvement projects that connected neighborhood revitalization with civic education, helping residents understand how local issues relate to participation in elections. To encourage turnout, Somos Tejas organized a "Party at the Polls," a family-friendly event designed to build enthusiasm for voting and provide accessible, nonpartisan information about the electoral process. These efforts supported ongoing civic awareness and participation among Latino residents and allies across North Texas.-$31,527
In 2023, Somos Tejas deepened its community engagement through outreach and partnerships that advanced civic awareness and neighborhood stability. The organization canvassed approximately 2,000 homes in West Dallas to conduct community surveys and partnered with Builders of Hope to promote their anti-displacement toolkit, providing residents with information about housing resources and local development efforts. Somos Tejas also collaborated with Civic Nation to address the digital divide by assisting more than 100 families in enrolling in an affordable connectivity program. These initiatives strengthened local relationships, improved access to vital services, and earned recognition from the U.S. Department of Education for contributions to digital inclusion and community advancement.-$29,480
In 2023, Somos Tejas advanced its Cultura Program to connect art, culture, and civic participation across North Texas. The organization partnered with Better Block to enhance and beautify a community center in Pleasant Grove, improving the space's functionality and contributing to the area's cultural vibrancy.
