Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Children & Youth, Foster Care
Mission: Faithbridge foster care exists to mobilize and equip families, and their local churches, to provide effective and sustainable foster care solutions to serve children and restore families in their communities.
Programs: Parenting foster children:each faithbridge foster family receives a daily per diem rate based on the child's age and level of care that they are providing. The per diem is designed to assist foster parents with the added expense of adding another child, and often times multiple siblings, to their household. Even though this small amount does not cover the cost of raising a child, foster families are able to use the funds towards food, clothing, and supplies needed for the daily care of the foster child.
foster child and foster family support:faithbridge provides placement support and trauma informed case management services for foster children that are placed in faithbridge foster family homes. Faithbridge foster children range from birth to 21 years of age and all have entered foster care due to abuse and/or neglect. In 2017, faithbridge placed 217 new foster children in faithbridge foster homes and served a total of 350 children. When returning home was not possible, 39 children were adopted by their faithbridge foster family.
foster home development and retention:in 2017, through the local church, faithbridge recruited, trained, and licensed 119 new foster families and supported over 300 foster homes. In addition, faithbridge also trained 71 new foster parent volunteers to provide wrap around support to faithbridge foster families.
