Casey Family Programs is the nation’s largest operating foundation focused on safely reducing the need for foster care in the United States. Our mission is to provide and improve — and ultimately prevent the need for — foster care.
We are committed to Building Communities of Hope, a nationwide effort to prevent the need for foster care by supporting families in raising safe, happy and healthy children. We work with a wide range of partners, including the children and families we serve each day, to:
- Safely reduce the need for foster care in the United States by 50 percent. We work in support of our partners at the federal, tribal, state and local levels to develop policies and practices that best meet the needs of families and their children. The result of this work reduces child abuse and neglect, increases safety and stability, and improves well-being and life outcomes.
- Demonstrate how every child can have a safe, supportive and permanent family. We work with children and families to provide and improve foster care and prevention services that promote their safety and well-being. From this work we demonstrate approaches that improve safety, address trauma, support healing, strengthen bonds and promote progress in education, employment and mental health. We share what we learn from this work with our partners to support improvements in policy and practice across the United States.
- Support more effective public investments in strengthening families to keep children safely in their own homes and communities. We contribute nonpartisan information, data and resources to policymakers at all levels of government to improve the impact and equity of our nation’s investment in communities for supporting child and family safety and well-being.
- Promote a shared responsibility for ensuring the well-being of every child and family across the nation. We encourage leaders from all five sectors of a community – government, business, nonprofit and faith-based, philanthropic and the community members themselves – to think, plan and act in collaboration to improve the long-term safety, well-being and hope of children and their families. We call this Building Communities of Hope.

Paired with training, connectivity, and support, C2K creates digital inclusion, which strengthens Health, Educational, and Economic Equity.

Studies show that even taking into account socioeconomic status, children with home computers perform at higher academic levels across the board. As our society becomes more dependent on technology, the best gift we can give our children is access to computers. The digital divide – a chasm that separates those with access to technology from those without – reduces the chance of success in life for low-income children and perpetuates poverty.

Home To Home believes pets that need a new home do best if they can be transitioned directly from their current home to a new, loving home and avoid the stress of a stay in an animal shelter.
Pet parents looking to rehome or find a foster for their pet create a pet profile on the Home To Home platform. The profile is published on the Home To Home website and shared with the community. People interested in fostering or adopting a new pet can see all pet profiles and directly contact pet parents for more information.
Although local shelters are always a resource for urgent pet placement, Home To Home knows that pets do best when they can go from one home to another and avoid a stay at an animal shelter.
Home To Home provides an intuitive platform for communication between current and potential owners to discuss pets in great detail prior to rehoming. Using the platform also helps prevent overuse of local shelters, freeing up resources for pets with no other option. It is a win-win-win.

I CARE Program – San Diego Youth Services
Details
San Diego Youth Services has helped thousands of children and young adults who are at risk for trafficking, as well as those who have already been trafficked.
Description of Services:
San Diego Youth Services has helped thousands of children and young adults who are at risk for trafficking, as well as those who have already been trafficked.
According to the International Labor Organization, children account for 1 in 4 of the 4.8 million victims globally. It is estimated that 60% of child sex trafficking victims in the United States have a history of involvement with the child welfare system, as these foster youth often face a lack of stability, support, and guidance, making them targets for traffickers.
Our goal is for the youth we serve to become emotionally and financially self-reliant, so that they are able to overcome the trauma they have experienced, heal and lead productive and healthy lives.
Our staff members work directly with survivors to get them back on their feet, by providing them with resources, including shelter and food, so that they are able to leave their old lives behind. We provide mental health services, educational support, employment opportunities, as well as support to their families.

Description of Services:
Back in 2006, undocumented students had little information, resources, and support to help them pursue higher education. As teachers and mentors, Carrie Evans and Katharine Gin found out that undocumented students were excluded from most opportunities available to their native-born classmates, such as government financial aid, loans, and most private scholarships. Carrie and Kathy started Educators for Fair Consideration (E4FC) to support undocumented students, at the same time as undocumented students were advocating for opportunities to learn and improve their own lives.
For more than 15 years, our San Francisco-based organization has transformed individuals and fueled broader changes around the country. With our resources and support, undocumented people are able to get an education, pursue careers, and build a brighter future for themselves and their communities.

We are a fiscally-sponsored project of Community Initiatives.
