Support Fostering Joy: A 501(c)(3) Dream

Help Us Bring More Joy to Youth in Foster Care!

Since 2019, Fostering Joy has served over 500 youth in Los Angeles and Orange County, all through love, community, and creativity. From Mother’s Day game sessions to arts & crafts with mentors, and our signature holiday celebrations, every event has created space for healing, connection, and joy.

And we’ve done it all without official funding — 100% volunteer-run, fueled by passion and purpose.

Now, it’s time to grow.

We’re raising funds to officially establish Fostering Joy as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization — and with your support, we’ll be able to:

• Offer workshops, peer groups, and youth support groups

• Launch critical programs like our 24/7 support line, job readiness, and driver’s license coaching

• Serve even more youth with dignity, consistency, and love

This is more than paperwork; it’s a chance to build a permanent home for healing. A place where young people feel safe, seen, and inspired to thrive. The beginning of a legacy which reimagines outcomes for youth who have experienced foster care.

✨ If we’ve already done this much already… imagine what we can as an official organization.

Please donate, share, and stand with us in Fostering Joy.

Every dollar helps us build a better future — one filled with possibility.

Funds raised will be used for:

- Admin fees associated with registering a legal entity as a non-profit

- Developing workshops, including our Leaders In Training (LIT) Program which offers emotional intelligence education in a trauma-informed manner to effectively propel youth in the direction of their dreams

- Supplies for youth and youth events

- Transportation! Fostering Joy needs to acquire a van of our very own so we can be effective in the frequency of events offered.
