As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we appreciate monetary donations that directly support our programs and the children in our care. Your tax-deductible contributions can also be in the form of goods or professional services that can benefit the children or assist foster families.
For those participating in our Transitional Foster Care (TFC) program, which serves Unaccompanied Children (UCs) from the border, we offer competitive compensation. This assistance helps cover the costs associated with the child’s care during their transitional period, which typically lasts no more than 4 months.
The TFC program offers a temporary home for UCs who have recently crossed the border. During their stay, which generally lasts around 30 days, we provide the children with education five days a week, access to medical treatment, legal services, and cultural programs to help them adjust and prepare for placement with a sponsor family in the United States.
Yes, donations to our 501(c)(3) organization are tax-deductible. We provide receipts for all donations, which can be used for tax purposes.
No, foster parents are not required to speak the native language of the children in the TFC program. We provide translation services and translators to facilitate communication when necessary.
Absolutely. Donors can designate their funds to specific aspects of our programs, such as educational resources, medical care, legal services, or cultural enrichment activities for the children.
The TFC program is specifically for UCs needing short-term care after entering the U.S. Foster parents in this program receive training to meet the unique needs of these children. Unlike traditional fostering, the placement is temporary, generally lasting only up to 4 months until a sponsor family is found.
Prospective foster or adoptive parents must be over 21, pass a background check, complete pre-service training, and have a home that passes a safety inspection. The home inspection ensures that the living environment is safe and suitable for children.
We provide comprehensive training that covers topics such as child development, trauma-informed care, cultural competency, and the specific needs of children in the TFC program.
We welcome partnerships with businesses and organizations through financial contributions, in-kind donations, or services. While direct volunteering with TFC children is not possible due to privacy concerns, there are many other ways to support our mission, such as sponsoring events or engaging in fundraising efforts.
