What Is The Fostering Collective?

The Fostering Collective was started with one goal in mind, helping you change the lives of children in need. Our staff and board, foster and adoptive families ourselves, struggled with the complexity of the system when trying to get started. We faced some of the same questions you do. Now we are partnering with 40+ churches, agencies, organizations, and businesses to help you Be the Light for a child in foster care.
