A vibrant future for all children in kinship care.
Foster Kinship strengthens kinship caregivers’ capacity to provide safe, stable, and nurturing homes for children.
Self-Sufficiency: Foster Kinship aims to provide caregivers with options, knowledge, and tools to advocate for their children so they can make the best decision for their families.
Openness: Foster Kinship provides services to individuals who identify as kinship caregivers regardless of the child’s foster care status or custody status, or the caregiver’s age or formal relationship to the child.
Synergy: Foster Kinship will honor and acknowledge the remarkable efforts of existing organizations by first acting as an umbrella over all resources locally and nationally available to kinship caregivers.
Standing in the Gap: As a private nonprofit, Foster Kinship seeks to partner with existing programs. If necessary and when possible, we close the gap between available government and private sector services and the individual needs of caregivers.

We serve kinship caregivers without regard to caregiver age, disability status, immigration status, economic circumstance, ethnicity, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age of the child, relation to the child, or custody status of the child.
