Recognizing January 30, 2025, as Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Day at the State Capitol and honoring the nonprofit Texas Grandparents Raising Grandchildren for its contributions to the State of Texas.

This resolution designates January 30, 2025, as "Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Day" at the Texas State Capitol. It honors the nonprofit Texas Grandparents Raising Grandchildren (TXGRG) for its work supporting relatives raising grandchildren, including providing resource connections and advocacy. The resolution acknowledges that over 250,000 Texas children are raised by grandparents or other relatives, who often face limited financial aid and decision-making authority. It does not create new laws or funding but serves as a formal recognition of caregivers' contributions and TXGRG's advocacy efforts.
