Frequently asked questions
Your donation brings comfort, opportunity, and hope to children in foster care. We’re proud that 80% of every donation goes directly toward programs that help foster youth feel seen, supported, and equipped for the future. The remaining 20% supports essential operations, allowing us to reach and serve more children every year. We publish annual reports and are registered as a 501(c)(3) so you can verify our operations.
You can make a difference in the lives of foster youth in a few simple ways:
Donate to support scholarships and programs that help children in foster care thrive.
