Support our work

All donations directly go to support our mission of helping children, youth, and families involved in the child welfare system. In addition to donating, there are multiple ways for you to contribute listed below.

Our work would not be possible without a passionate group of supporters who want to help child welfare communities. As FCFC grows, so does our community and their desire to affect positive social change in NYC.

Other Ways to Support

  • Fundraise

    We can set up a page on our fundraising site where you can track donations that your friends and family make. You can also sponsor or ask your employer to sponsor an event to benefit FCFC.

  • Donation Matching

    Many organizations match the charitable donations of their employees. Contact your employer to see if they have a donation matching program, and feel free to reach out to us if you have questions.

  • In-Kind Donations

    Do you or your company offer a service that our organization needs or uses? We gladly accept donations of needed services, like printing or marketing. We also routinely collect high-value items to use in our raffle.

  • Donor Advised Fund

    A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a segregated fund maintained by a qualified public charity which is created when a donor makes a gift of cash or assets. This gift allows the donor to receive an immediate income tax deduction, avoid the capital gains tax on appreciated assets, and have the ability to make grant recommendations to Fostering Change for Children at any time. To create your DAF, please visit Renaissance Charitable Foundation and speak with Susie McEuen at (866) 803-0389, ext. 5285.

  • Life Insurance

    Consider using your life insurance policy to create a greater philanthropic impact at FCFC than you might have thought possible. Many have life insurance with assets totaling more than is needed for a comfortable retirement. Depending on the status of your policy, income tax or estate tax deductions apply.

    If you have already named Fostering Change for Children in your estate plan, please let us know.

  • Planned Giving

    For many individuals, ensuring that the important work carried out by their favorite charities continues after their lifetime is important. If you are interested in supporting Fostering Change for Children though your estate plan, there are many options available to you.

  • Charitable Bequest

    You can make a provision in your will or trust fund for FCFC, set to your specifications.

  • Living Trust

    Name FCFC as the beneficiary of assets in a living will, maintaining full control of the trust and your assets.
