It’s the longing of every human heart.

It’s what kids in foster care need most.

And it’s what you can help restore through FAMILY.

$3,000 ($250/month) helps a child find belonging with a forever family.

Since 2015 America’s Kids Belong has led the way to dramatically improve experiences and outcomes for kids and families involved in foster care.

We focus on two profound problems in the foster care system:

Recruitment

There are only half as many families as kids in foster care

Retention

Half of new families quit after the first year because they lack the social support to thrive.

Go Upstream

Helping kids in foster care impacts other social issues that happen downstream when kids age out alone, including trafficking, poverty, homelessness and incarceration.
