Fostering Connections OK

Fostering Connections OK is a small non-profit organization based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, dedicated to improving the lives of abused and neglected children in Tulsa and surrounding counties. Employing three individuals and generating $2.5 million in annual revenue, the organization focuses on providing resources and building community support for foster families. Fostering Connections offers a variety of programs and services designed to ease transitions for children and foster families. These include the Foster Family Resource Center (FFRC), which provides immediate access to essential items like beds, clothing, and car seats for children entering foster care. They also operate the Mobile Foster Family Resource Center (mFFRC), a project funded by Tulsa Area United Way, which brings resources directly to families in need. Additionally, the organization runs the popular Christmas for Kids program, which allows each child in out-of-home placement in Tulsa County to request two gifts for Christmas. A key differentiator for Fostering Connections is their commitment to foster family retention. They believe that by providing ongoing support and resources, foster families are more likely to remain involved, creating stable and nurturing environments for the children they care for. The organization's emphasis on building community and providing practical assistance sets it apart in the field of foster care services.
