2INgage

What 2INgage does

2INgage is a Texas nonprofit operating as the Community-Based Care (CBC) contractor for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services in Region 2, a 30-county service area covering the Texoma and Big Country regions including Abilene and Wichita Falls. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Abilene, the organization is a program of Texas Family Initiative, LLC, which is part of the TFI Family of Companies — a multi-state child welfare and family services network. The organization delivers case management and family services to children in foster care, working toward permanency through reunification, kinship placement, or adoption.

The service portfolio comprises five core programs: Foster Care & Adoption Services (the primary case management offering), Texas Family First (prevention services aimed at avoiding foster care entry), Texas Clinical Services (therapeutic support), Resources to Kinship Families (caregiver support), and the Heart Gallery of Northwest Texas (adoption recruitment). 2INgage operates no proprietary technology platform; the model is human-delivered social services supported by operational documents (Provider Manuals, newsletters, event-based recruitment) and a network of seven physical offices across Region 2. In FY2025 the organization reported 1,689 children and youth served, 278 families reunified, and 172 adoptions.

Revenue is generated exclusively through the Texas DFPS Community-Based Care contract as a managed-services arrangement; no commercial pricing is disclosed. The customer base, in the procurement sense, is a single state-government counterparty. End-user beneficiaries — foster children, birth and kinship families, and foster/adoptive parents — receive services without direct payment. Go-to-market is community-driven: foster parent recruitment events, foster forums, Heart Gallery gatherings, chamber and college partnerships, and CASA joint recruitment, supplemented by content marketing via blog and monthly newsletter.
