How are you different from other foster organizations?

While there are several agencies tasked with keeping children in foster care safe, the Foundation for Foster Children is unique in our sole focus on the emotional and educational needs of children in care. We are also unique in child welfare because we rely on the financial support of the community and individuals through fundraising and are not reliant on government funding. We help to fill in gaps not already being addressed.
