We are deeply grateful to the foundations that invest in Raise the Future through grant funding. Their partnership is more than financial support; it is a shared commitment to ensuring that youth experiencing foster care have the opportunity to grow up in safe, supportive, and permanent families.
Foundation funding allows us to support and prepare adoptive families, provide trauma-informed training and resources, and offer ongoing post-adoptive support so families can thrive long after finalization.
Because of this generous support, we can expand access to critical services, respond to emerging needs in our communities, and innovate in the way we serve youth and families. Together with our foundation partners, we are creating brighter futures, where every young person has the stability, connection, and lifelong support they deserve.
