Questions for Extraordinary Families
Your first name shows with your question. Extraordinary Families answers here, for everyone.
Foster Care
We recruit, train, certify, and support foster parents to care for children entering the child welfare system. Children remain in foster care temporarily until they can safely reunify with their family, are adopted, or age out of foster care and transition into adulthood.
Transition Age Youth
Our UP4Youth program supports young adults who will soon or have recently aged out of the foster care system and are making the transition into adulthood. Youth are empowered with resource coordination, employment services, education planning, and one-on-one mentoring as they make the critical transition to self-sufficiency.
Adoption
We join children and families through adoption. Our foster-to-adopt program bridges the gap between a child's need for temporary support and long-term care with a forever family. When a child in foster care cannot reunify with a biological family member, we facilitate permanency through adoption.
Funders

Names, privacy, and removal requests More
The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.
Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.
We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.
Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.
If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.
Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.
If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
