Close the Gap

A year of support for every child experiencing foster care in Southwest Washington — one monthly gift at a time.

Help us support every moment.

400 children in Southwest Washington are experiencing foster care and our funding only goes so far. We need some real information right here about what our funding covers vs what it doesn’t cover and why we need support…

It costs an additional $1,300 per child, per year to fully meet their needs. That’s where you come in.

The Reality:

  • Our state contract provides $3.5 million in funding.

  • Based on nonprofit best practices, 15% in operational costs should be covered.

  • That leaves $525,000 in unfunded care.

  • That’s $1,300 per child, per year in costs that Fosterful must raise to continue delivering the depth of support our youth rely on.

400 kids. One goal.

We’re on a mission to raise $520,000 — enough to fully support every child in our community over the next year. This section needs developed but you get the idea…

This campaign launches in May, during National Foster Care Awareness Month, and continues through the year. As more people join the movement, our impact grows.

Track our progress and see how your gift helps us reach every child.
