The WARM Place
“What about remembering me?” – A girl’s simple cry for help more than two decades ago served as the catalyst for
the creation of The WARM Place, the first-of-its-kind charity and the only organization in Tarrant County that provides free
grief support services for children, young adults and their families.
At the heart of the WARM Place’s programming is a home setting where families find comfort, caring and peace.
After years of service to the community, the setting was beginning to deteriorate and age. Recognizing the WARM Place’s
unique mission, the Arlington Tomorrow Foundation board provided a grant of $40,000 to renovate the group’s outdated
children’s rooms.
Women’s Center
The Women’s Center of Tarrant County is a shoulder
to lean on during a woman’s darkest day. Offering
counseling and crisis hotlines plus a prevention program
aimed to stop child sexual abuse, the organization
served more than 13,000 Arlington women, men and
children in 2015. The Arlington Tomorrow Foundation
awarded a $50,000 gift to ensure that the residents have
help during times of crisis.

Helping Restore Ability
Most Americans will experience a disability some time during the course of their lives, according to the Center for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). That fact combined with the aging Baby Boomer population drives the need for
organizations like Helping Restore Ability (HRA), which provides in-home care for low-income citizens with disabling conditions.
The Foundation provided a one-time grant of $50,000 to HRA so 50 Arlington residents have access to a lifetime of
support. At the close of 2015, the donation already helped 26 people.
