Overview
Mission
Cloth and Foster's purpose is to support children and families experiencing foster care by providing them with tangible goods that remove barriers and allow the HEART WORK to happen. Our goal is to empower more families to say yes to fostering children by ensuring that they have the resources they need to provide a safe and loving home.
What it reported doing in 2025
1. Tangible Goods Program: Provided more than 275 tangible requests to children and families experiencing foster care across five SW Washington counties. These requests include everything from clothing, toiletries, toys, books, beds, shoes, etc. 2. Holiday Supports Program - We provide children experiencing foster care a need, wish and an want for Christmas, allowing more than 100 caregiver families to shop for the items they need to make Christmas morning magical. More than 2300 items collected from the community made it into stockings and under trees for Christmas morning. 3. Back to School Supplies: We provided school supplies for more than 200 children to start their school year off right, including backpacks, shoes, and other apparel.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
