Federal Partnerships

Raise the Future has been a partner on the AdoptUSKids project since its inception in 2002. AdoptUSKids was created to increase public awareness about the need for foster, adoptive and kinship families, as well as to support states, tribes, and territories with technical assistance in diligent recruitment. As part of this work, Raise previously launched and operated the National Resource Center for Diligent Recruitment until funding for the Center ended in 2017. Raise continued to partner on the AdoptUSKids project to provide capacity building and engagement to states, tribes, and territories, focusing on the various elements of diligent recruitment.
