Working with the belief that the people make things happen, we focus on education, community outreach and awareness and advocacy to help children, strengthen families and put an end to the cycle that victimizes children and shatter families.
Corporate and individual citizenship enriches a company’s involvement with children and families and the social issues they deal with because corporations and individuals make things happen.
As an organization and as individuals, we are proud to be the difference for children. Families for Kids collaborates with corporations, small businesses, and individuals who have an established commitment to make a difference in the lives of children. |

Sponsor a group of families in your area that are caring for children in out-of-home care. These different support systems meet at least monthly and provide required trainings, socialization, respite coordination, and support for families. To help with possible space rental, speaker fees, training materials, etc., it is estimated that $100 per month is needed on an average. Please sponsor one of these systems (for description of each unit see Foster Parent Support Section on our home page). Please donate $1200 or pledge $100 per month for 12 months by mailing check, money order, or credit card information to: Families for Kids, 433 Minor Ave. N, Seattle, WA 98109 – or call 888.794.1794 for assistance.

ASSIST WITH UPGRADING TECHNOLOGY
Our coordinators present trainings and educational exhibits throughout the State to raise awareness of the plight of the children and recruit, support, and train the families that will and are caring for them. Many of these presentations require laptops and LCD projectors. It is a goal to see that each coordinator has both a laptop and projector in order to be able to present these PowerPoints and lectures on demand, eliminating the worry of trying to locate and/or borrow equipment. Each piece of technology runs around $800. Please send check, money order, or credit card information to Families for Kids, 433 Minor Ave. N, Seattle, WA 98109 – or call 888.794.1794 for assistance Pleases include your name, address, phone number, and email.
