Children without stable, loving homes
Investing in proven, scalable models that reduce entries into care and expand and support foster families
“Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 19:14Let’s chat
We’d love to walk you through the strategy behind the fund. Join us for a next-step conversation designed for prospective givers.
What begins as crisis intervention often becomes prolonged uncertainty. At its core, this is a crisis of belonging.
3 Minute Strategy Video: Coming Soon
On any given day in the United States, more than 340,000 children are living in foster care. Over half a million children pass through the system each year. Many enter care because their families face poverty, addiction, neglect, or generational instability.
Behind every statistic is a story: a child removed from home, siblings separated across placements, parents navigating complex court and recovery systems, foster families stretched to capacity. Children spend nearly two years in care on average. Each year, roughly 25,000 young people age out of the system without a permanent family connection, facing significantly higher risks of homelessness, unemployment, and isolation.
Scripture reveals God as a Father to the fatherless and One who sets the lonely in families. The foster care crisis is not only a policy challenge, it is a spiritual and relational one. When families fracture under the weight of hardship, children bear the deepest wounds.
The foster care system was designed to be temporary. Yet too often, temporary becomes extended, and extended becomes formative. Without upstream support for struggling families, children enter care unnecessarily. Without sustained support for foster and adoptive families, placements disrupt. Without intentional pathways to reunification or adoption, children wait.
We believe every child is made in the image of God and deserves safety, stability, and the experience of being fully known within a committed family. The crisis is real. But so is the opportunity for the Church to reflect the heart of God: restoring families, strengthening communities, and ensuring fewer children grow up without a safe place to belong.
Strengthening families, restoring belonging
The Solving Foster Care & Adoption Fund exists to ensure more children grow up in stable, loving families, and fewer ever have to enter foster care in the first place. Our mission is both preventative and catalytic: strengthen vulnerable families before crisis leads to separation, recruit and sustain healthy foster families nationwide, and accelerate pathways to safe reunification or lasting adoption.
We believe the foster care crisis is solvable: not by managing volume, but by bending the curve.
This fund invests in proven, scalable models that reduce entries into care, expand and support foster families, and align churches, nonprofits, and state systems to work together effectively. Our strategy focuses on 3 things:
Stabilizing vulnerable families before removal is necessary, supporting young mothers and at-risk parents, and investing in “last mile” coordination models that align churches, nonprofits, and public agencies to keep children safely at home whenever possible.
Recruiting and equipping new foster families, mobilizing local churches, and building coordinated ecosystems where every child can be placed quickly into a prepared, supported home.
Reducing burnout through wraparound care, respite, coaching, counseling, and better coordination with state systems so foster families are not carrying the weight alone.
We define winning as fewer children entering foster care, and every child who does entering a supported, stable home.
We scale what works. We fix what doesn’t.
We prioritize deep, local engagement in select cities and states: learning alongside community leaders, testing coordinated approaches, measuring outcomes, and refining models that demonstrate real impact.
Addressing this challenge requires both prevention efforts that strengthen vulnerable families before crisis escalates and downstream solutions that ensure children who cannot return home find lasting, loving care.
Because every child deserves more than a system. They deserve a family.
The Adoption & Foster Care Crisis Fund is in the Lab stage, and its first allocations are currently in diligence. The fund is evaluating proven, scalable models that reduce entries into care, expand and support foster families, and align churches, nonprofits, and state systems to work together effectively. Initial deployments will be announced here, and members of each fund receive quarterly reports and updates, providing visibility into the progress and activities of the fund.

The Solving Adoption & Foster Care Crisis Fund
SWGP Giving Funds unite world-class portfolio management with the Faith Driven content and community you trust, transforming generosity into impact.
God calls us to radical generosity: not obligation, not guilt, but an invitation to the joy-filled adventure. When you’ve been rescued you want to rescue others, this is your moment.
You want to give. You want to find that cause to rally around. But we don’t have the time or tribe to be intentional.
Busy lives don’t leave room to analyze every investment or vet every charity. We’re overwhelmed, pulled in a hundred directions: wallets clenched, hearts tugged, minds skeptical. Deep down, we know there has to be a better way. That’s why we’re building collaborative giving funds, uniting content, community, and tools that make it possible to do more, together.
We are committed to excellence and transparency, which is why we engage independent third-party organizations, including Calvin Edwards & Company, All Access International, and Brightlight Impact, to evaluate our work. Every two years, each fund undergoes an external review made available to prospective donors and partners. This review outlines the fund’s theory of change, portfolio analysis, governance, operations, and grantmaking practices. It also reviews investment activity and verifies the accuracy of reporting, ensuring donors can give with confidence and clarity.
