What is Gill Children's Services?
Gill Children's Services is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our mission is to be a funding source of last resort for Tarrant County children with unmet needs.
What can I apply for?
When your child cannot find assistance anywhere else, you may apply for financial assistance at Gill. We receive many types of requests, but some examples include dental exams, summer school tuition, prescriptions, birth certificates, diapers, medical equipment, tutoring, hearing aids, etc. If you are unsure if your child's need is last resort, call our office.
What does "last resort" mean?
At Gill Children's Services, "last resort" means that the family's and the community's resources are exhausted. We look at the family's disposable income, payment options, etc. to determine if the family's need. We also require that other nonprofit and government programs have been contacted. If other programs are unable to provide for the child, the family may apply at Gill.
