Overview

Mission

Provide private foster family placement for children who have been removed from their parents' custody due to abuse and neglect.

What it reported doing in 2025

The agency places the children during the year with qualified foster families. The agency provides services and supports the foster families with training to best meet the needs of the at risk children.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most filed governance safeguards are in place. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
