Boost A Foster Family

MISSION: To provide assistance for Arizona Kinship Foster Families and those seeking Kinship Foster Care Licensure. VISION: Children will be placed in a safe environment with family (kin), and families will have the necessary resources to care for the children.

Boost a Foster Family was created to meet the needs of low income kinship families (grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc) by providing safety items and services to create a safe environment for children in foster care. We receive referrals from licensing agencies and the Department of Child Services who are working with families experiencing financial difficulties. We believe that by helping to provide in-kind donations (such as fire extinguishers and other home safety items) and services (CPR classes, well water tests, etc), we can remove some of the obstacles that slow down the licensing process while ensuring a safe environment for the children.

Testimonials

"This is an amazing charity that wants to help anyone become a foster family. I have been so excited to watch them get going, and start giving families the boost they need to get through licensing." - Debbie McIntyre, Licensing Worker

"I am a licensing specialist and Boost A Foster Family has helped several of my families get licensed quickly or keep up with OLR requirements when they are licensed because they help break down financial barriers. I don't know what I would have done without them and can't say enough what an amazing organization they are. They have allowed my families the chance to focus on providing excellent care to the children placed with them instead of having to worry about how they will pay for things like CPR class. Thank you so much Boost A Foster Family! " - Christy Rivera, Licensing Worker
