The Fostering Growth Foundation is currently in the process of obtaining 501(c)(3) status. Once approved, donations may qualify as tax-deductible contributions retroactive to the date of application approval, as permitted by IRS regulations. Please consult your tax advisor for guidance.

Donations to The Fostering Growth Foundation directly support programs and services that improve access to care and resources for children and families impacted by foster care and trauma.

Your contribution may go toward:

• Fresh Start Packs – Providing children entering foster care with essential comfort and care items to help ease transitions and promote dignity during a difficult time.

• Sensory Access Program – Funding sensory-based tools, equipment, and experiences that support emotional regulation, reduce anxiety, and help children feel safe and grounded.

• Therapy Support – Covering or subsidizing the cost of occupational therapy and related services for children who otherwise may not have access due to financial or systemic barriers.

Every donation helps ensure that children receive consistent, trauma-informed support when they need it most—whether that’s through tangible resources, sensory tools, or direct therapeutic care.

Yes—there are several meaningful ways to get involved with The Fostering Growth Foundation beyond donating.

We welcome individuals who want to support our mission through volunteering, community partnerships, and advocacy. Opportunities may include helping assemble Fresh Start Packs, supporting events, assisting with the Sensory Access Program, or contributing professional skills such as organization, outreach, or program support.

Because many of our services involve working with vulnerable children and families, some volunteer roles may require background checks, training, or role-specific onboarding to ensure safety and consistency of care.

If you’re interested in getting involved, we encourage you to reach out to us directly so we can match your skills and availability with the current needs of our programs.
