About Us

Fostering Hope – A foster-share community

Fostering Hope is a volunteer-run, donation-based, 501(c)(3) organization that serves the foster care community. Our mission is to empower youth experiencing foster care, nurture families, and restore dignity to every child we serve. Our goals are to reduce the barriers that stand in the way of people opening their hearts and homes to fostering and to make the transition into the foster care system less traumatic for children. We provide free resources to foster families, kinship care families, pre- and post-adoptive families, biological families on safety plans with their local child welfare office, and young adults who have recently aged out. Through comprehensive support, advocacy, and compassionate care, we are committed to creating a world where every child experiencing foster care feels valued, cherished, and equipped to thrive.

Our vision is to provide a brighter future for every child experiencing foster care. We are committed to serving with unwavering dedication and excellence, consistently striving for the highest standards of care and support, and providing the tangible needs of every child in care in the areas we serve.
