Why Support Foster Families?

It Isn’t Just A Heart Issue, It’s A Smart Issue


It really comes down to understanding your why. Here are three reasons that a commitment to support foster care makes good business sense.

  1. Non-Controversial Social Responsibility – caring well for kids in foster care is one issue everyone can get behind that garners broad-based support.

  2. Generational Impact – Investing in foster families has the power to create generational change. Businesses that support foster care are helping create sustainable change in foster care.

  3. Significant Community and Economic Impact – When kids in foster care age out (at age 18) without a stable, loving family they are at greatly increased risk for 10 social wounds that directly impact our communities and they’ll require an average of $300,000 in social services over their lifetimes.

Kids who age out of foster care without a family are at far greater risk for these top 10 social wounds
