What we aim to solve
Children in need don't have enough safe and loving homes. Sibling groups are often seperated or sent to group homes when the System of Care doesn't have a home for them.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We aim to support and equip caregivers to provide more and better care to children.
We offer practical solutions like a centralized resource hub for caregivers, parent success navigation, and research to identify where the System of Care fails to meet children and caregiver's needs.
Our leadership team has business acumen from years of enterprise and nonprofit experience that gives us the unique ability to utilize existing technology and best practices to help children.
We have goals for each program we launch and track how many families and children have been impacted.
In the first 90 days of our organization, we identified major needs of the Hillsborough System of Care, partnered with local agencies to develop solutions, provided guidance to help caregivers of hundreds of children get more food to feed their families, and created a Parent Success Guidebook which guides parents through the process of how to get reunited with their children.

Organizational Demographics
In order to support nonprofits and gain valuable insight for the sector, GuideStar worked with D5—a five-year initiative to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in philanthropy—in creating a questionnaire. This section is a voluntary questionnaire that empowers organizations to share information on the demographics of who works in and leads organizations. To protect the identity of individuals, we do not display sexual orientation or disability information for organizations with fewer than 15 staff. Any values displayed in this section are percentages of the total number of individuals in each category (e.g. 20% of all Board members for X organization are female).
