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. Purchase a Foster the Bear for your home and enjoy a cuddly companion with purpose. Donate a bear directly to a child in foster care and bring comfort to someone who needs it most. Every action, no matter how small, helps brighten the future for foster youth.

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.

Setting up a monthly donation is easy. Simply visit our donation page, select the 'Monthly Donation' option, and choose your amount. Your consistent support helps us plan and sustain our programs for foster youth.

Yes, your donations are tax-deductible! Foster The Bear Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, so all donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. No goods or services were provided in exchange for your contribution unless otherwise noted.

Yes, you can — and we’d love for you to! Every purchase helps further the mission of Foster The Bear Foundation. You get a fluffy, weighted, and adorable bear, while also supporting foster youth. A true win-win!

Donating a bear to a child in foster care is tax deductible. However, buying a bear for your own home is not. Even though the purchase isn't tax deductible, your contribution supports the Foster The Bear Foundation scholarship. Thank you for supporting kids in foster care!

We make sure every Foster The Bear reaches a child who needs it most. By partnering with foster care closets, nonprofits, and agencies across the Southeast, we ensure each bear finds a loving home.

At Foster the Bear Foundation, we are creating a scholarship fund to help youth in foster care achieve their goals, whether that's a college degree, technical program, or vocational training. This scholarship will support young people aging out of the system, offering financial help and relational encouragement. Launched in February our foundation is working to make this scholarship a reality. Every bear sold and donation made brings us closer to opening doors for youth and making an impact on the lives of countless youth.

Foster The Bear is our lovable mascot, designed to bring comfort and joy to children in foster care. Foster helps us raise awareness about the challenges faced by foster youth and the importance of community support. Learn more about Foster's story on our 'Meet Foster' page.
