Creating Safer Spaces: Our Donation to Texas Advocacy Project

Since its founding in 1982 as a legal hotline run by a small group of young attorneys, Texas Advocacy Project (TAP) has grown into a statewide leader in victim advocacy law. The organization now provides specialized legal services across multiple practice areas, with attorneys trained specifically in the complex legal challenges that arise in cases involving abuse and violence.

Their impact extends well beyond the courtroom. TAP addresses the legal barriers that often prevent survivors from accessing justice and stability. Their attorneys specialize in the intersection of family law and victim advocacy, providing comprehensive representation designed to address both immediate safety concerns and long-term legal needs.

Who Texas Advocacy Project serves

TAP provides free, confidential legal services to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, stalking, and human trafficking across Texas. Their services are available to all Texans, regardless of background, location, or financial situation.

Beyond direct legal representation, TAP works to prevent future harm through community education and training programs that help individuals and communities recognize signs of abuse and respond effectively.

Our donation to Texas Advocacy Project

Through our monthly community donation program, UPLIFT Desk provided adjustable desks and ergonomic accessories to support TAP's hybrid office environment. With most of their staff working remotely, the time spent together in the office is precious. We helped outfit their shared workspaces to ensure that when the team comes together, their environment reflects the same support and flexibility they provide to others.

Here's what one team member shared:

"These UPLIFT Desks have been such a game-changer for our team! The adjustable desks in our shared workspaces help our staff feel supported by giving them the flexibility to sit or stand while working through demanding casework."

We're proud to provide tools that help TAP's team work more effectively during their critical in-office collaboration time.

Helping our community

Supporting TAP means investing in a legal system that works for everyone, not just those who can afford representation. Legal advocacy removes barriers that often prevent people from accessing the justice system and obtaining the protections they need.

By contributing to TAP's mission, we're helping ensure that specialized legal services remain accessible across Texas. A well-equipped office environment supports the attorneys and staff who handle these complex, demanding cases every day.

Looking forward

TAP continues to evolve and expand their impact. Their community training and survivor services work to dismantle barriers while creating clearer pathways to safety and justice.

We are proud to support organizations like Texas Advocacy Project through the UPLIFT Desk Donation Program, and we look forward to continuing our mission of helping people do their best work, especially when that work changes lives.
