A Christ-centered, tax-exempt organization intent on changing
U.S. foster care, FaithBridge Foster Care works with the local
church to solve its community's foster care crisis. FaithBridge
partners with local churches to create independent foster care
ministries around a small group model, called the Community of
CareSM, which provides foster families with unparalleled
support and resources. This relationship-enhanced model scales to
create local foster family capacity with built-in stability and
quality, bringing children and families together in a safe, loving
community.
Why "FaithBridge"?
Our name is derived from our business model, whereby the faith
community bridges the gap between a large societal crisis and
individuals in need. The bridges we build are relational, economic
and emotional.
Relationally, we connect all the parties in the foster care
system--county and state government, biological and foster
families, healthcare workers, community service providers and
others.
Economically, we work to bridge investors with a proven business
model and strategy that aim to reframe the $8 billion foster care
crisis.
Emotionally, FaithBridge Foster Care's strategy and business
model help bring together an entire community of caring
individuals--professionals, pastors and volunteers--who surround
children and families in loving, nurturing relationships and who
help bridge the emotional traumas often caused by neglect, abuse or
other challenges.
