Financial Support to Help You Care

We know that raising children comes with real costs—food, clothing, school supplies, and more. That’s why foster families receive a monthly stipend to help cover the expenses of caring for a child.

This support is not considered income and does not affect your taxes. It’s simply meant to ease the financial burden, so you can focus on what matters most: giving a child a safe, loving, and stable home.

You’re not expected to do it alone—and you won’t have to.
