Every Body Texas supports providers of sexual and reproductive healthcare in Texas by administering Title X funding and delivering innovative training and technical assistance. We aim to ensure that every person in Texas has access to safe, unbiased, and high-quality sexual and reproductive healthcare—regardless of identity or income.

Our Mission

We believe access to safe, unbiased, high-quality sexual and reproductive healthcare is a universal human right. We are working for a future where every person in Texas can access that care, regardless of identity or income.

A Brief History of Every Body Texas

We were founded in 1977 as the not-for-profit organization known as the Texas Family Planning Association, and later called Women’s Health and Family Planning Association of Texas. In 2020, we rebranded as “Every Body Texas” to reflect a transformation we’ve been driving for years.

For our first 34 years (or so), we were one voice in a chorus of organizations demanding access to high-quality sexual and reproductive healthcare. We believed then, as we do now, that all people need access to this care.

Then things changed.

Starting in 2011, the Texas Legislature made sweeping changes to how funding for “family planning” services was allocated—i.e., they slashed funding. Eighty-two clinics closed. Twenty-three organizations that provided key services to low-income people—such as birth control, STI testing and treatment, breast and cervical cancer screenings, and other services—lost critical funding.

The effect was instant and devastating. So our community responded.

After a lengthy application process, Every Body Texas was named the Title X Family Planning Administrator for Texas. We became the organization responsible for distributing these important federal funds—the only federal funds dedicated to family planning care—to clinics across the state.

Our goal was then, as it is now, to ensure that this money is deployed for the greatest possible impact. But Every Body Texas is much more than a funding organization.

We are on the ground—every day—serving as a source of expertise. We form partnerships in healthcare, community leadership, and others. We answer questions. We offer professional consulting and technical training to clinical providers, administrators, and other staff.

We deliver full-throated, clear-voiced advocacy for access to critical healthcare services. Learn more about what we do.

The future of access to sexual and reproductive healthcare is unclear. But whichever way the political winds blow, Every Body Texas will strive—every day—to build a world where anybody who needs care can get it, regardless of their identity or income.

That is why we exist.
