Give Foster Youth a Stable Future—Every Month
Be part of a committed community of monthly donors ensuring that Rhode Island’s foster youth transitioning to adulthood have the stability, support, and housing they need to thrive. Your monthly contribution provides guaranteed, sustainable funding that empowers Foster Forward to deliver essential, integrated services every single day.
Why Monthly Giving Matters:
Monthly gifts are the backbone of our long-term impact. By becoming a member of the Homefront Defenders, you're not just donating, you're creating a reliable foundation that enables Foster Forward to plan confidently, expand strategically, and sustain our vital programs year-round.
How Your Monthly Gift Transforms Lives
Your recurring support directly benefits youth aged 18-24 transitioning out of foster care, providing stability and resources across Foster Forward’s interconnected suite of services:
Stable Housing & Independent Living: Your monthly gift helps fund housing programs like Your Way Home, providing secure apartments, essential furnishings, and ongoing case management for youth moving into their first homes.
New Housing Opportunities: You support our long-term vision by contributing to housing developments such as the renovation or purchase of multi-family units, creating permanent affordable homes specifically for youth aging out of care.
Career Pathways & Financial Empowerment: Regular funding supports Works Wonders, equipping youth with job training, internships, financial literacy education, and personalized mentorship, setting them up for economic independence.
Community Storefront & Drop-in Center: Your support keeps our Storefront stocked with essentials like clothing, household items, and job interview attire, while also sustaining our drop-in center, a safe, welcoming space for youth experiencing homelessness where they can access services, resources, and support to navigate daily challenges and build stability.
Comprehensive Support Services: Because youth frequently engage in multiple Foster Forward programs simultaneously, your monthly investment ensures seamless, integrated support across all our offerings, from career readiness to housing stability to financial capability.
