Description:

The Trust’s grantmaking in the Foster Youth Program Area addresses four broad goals, which collectively support the healthy development and success of children and youth who are currently or formerly in foster care or whose parents can no longer care for them: 1) stable homes, 2) physical and mental health, 3) education and 4) independence and self-sufficiency.
