How You Can Help
At any given time, there are approximately 5,000 Iowa children in foster care. To help only half of the 5,000 foster children in Iowa each year, it would cost $500,000. The Foundation was able to offer assistance to more than 115 children in 2006. Some of the items and opportunities the Foundation has been able to help foster children obtain include:
- Music Instruments
- School Trips
- Graduation Expenses
- Summer Camps
- Sports Equipment
- Swimming Lessons
- Senior Pictures
- Prom Dresses/Tuxedos
- Class Rings
- Tae Kwon Do Lessons
- Dance Classes
- Legal Fees (Name Change)
The Iowa Friends of Foster Children Foundation welcomes all financial contributions to help Iowa’s foster children. The Foundation is a 501(c)3, nonprofit organization fully staffed by volunteers, including an all-volunteer Board. All volunteers donate their time and there are no paid staff members. Donations to the Iowa Friends of Foster Children Foundation directly benefit children in Iowa's foster care system. Donations are tax deductible. Your financial support is appreciated!
There is also a great need for more foster and adoptive families in Iowa.
