Central Texas Table of Grace

What Central Texas Table of Grace does

Central Texas Table of Grace is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2014 by Stacy Johnson, a former foster child, and headquartered in Round Rock, Texas. The organization operates two core programs: the Table of Grace Emergency Shelter, a licensed 13-bed residential facility serving displaced foster children ages 5-17 referred through the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, and Grace365, a Supervised Independent Living (SIL) program providing subsidized furnished apartments with wraparound case management, life-skills training, and mentorship for young adults ages 18-21 aging out of foster care. Together the programs serve approximately 70 children annually and operate the only combined emergency shelter and SIL program in Round Rock, one of only three in the greater Austin area. Supporting features include Grace's Treasures (a behavior-based reward store), Second Saturdays (monthly life-skills workshops), and the Lowe's Hometown Garage (a vocational training facility opened in November 2025 covering automotive maintenance and business skills).

There is no proprietary technology stack; the organization is a service entity. Revenue mechanics are entirely philanthropic: individual donations (one-time and monthly recurring via Kindful), planned giving, stock gifts, in-kind contributions, corporate grants (notably a $200,000 Chick-fil-A True Inspiration Award in 2023 and a $50,000 Q2 Q-mmunity Gives grant in 2022), and foundation challenge grants. No products or services are sold; primary referral relationships are with Texas DFPS, and customer segments are the two narrow beneficiary populations (children in crisis and transitioning foster youth) within Central Texas.

The organization is currently executing a $14.3 million capital campaign for The Campus @ Central Texas Table of Grace, a first-of-its-kind comprehensive campus encompassing an Under 18 Home, expanded SIL Apartments, and The Village community center. As of the most recent disclosure, $10,402,370 has been raised, supported by a $2 million anonymous gift and a $2 million Mabee Foundation challenge grant with an October 14, 2026 deadline; groundbreaking is targeted for April 2026. Operations are distributed across three Round Rock sites (the Sam Bass Road shelter, the 2.1-acre community center/Grace365 headquarters purchased December 2021, and the Doris Lane training facility), with a staff of 21-22 led by CEO Stacy Johnson and Chief Operations & Development Officer Kate Tolliver.
