Foster Care Work Group

The Foster Care Work Group is one of the three work groups of the Youth Transitions Funders Group. To improve the likelihood that vulnerable youth between the ages of 14 and 24 will become "Connected by 25," the Foster Care Work Group (FCWG) urges new investments to prepare foster youth and those leaving foster care for the future, as well as investments to meet their present needs while they are in the custody of the state. The foundation executives who participate in the Foster Care Work Group recognize and embrace ongoing efforts to strengthen and reform the child welfare system. They also recognize that helping foster youth and those aging out of foster care become successful adults requires that they have a community-wide network of connections and support that can provide pathways to lifelong economic well-being and financial success.

To support decision-making that produces and sustains good results for children, families, and communities. The Finance Project develops and disseminates research, information, tools, and technical assistance for improved polices, programs, and financing strategies.
