Foster Action Network (FAN) 🌀
Children in foster care in your county need people in their corner. The Foster Action Network (FAN) turns neighbors into a steady team for them: learning what they need, telling friends, and showing up together.
Pick the Fan Setting that fits your life, and we’ll send you one simple step at a time.
Desk Fan
Share FAN’s weekly posts and stories online, so more people in your county see what children in care need.
Outdoor Fan
Learn more, introduce FAN to your community, and pick a hands-on task from the monthly Task Board.
Super Fan
Lead a project from start to finish, with Fostering Great Ideas supporting you.
More ways to help, any time 🤝
These are run by others in our community, not FGI, and they are always open. Every one of them puts a caring adult closer to a child in foster care.
Serve with a faith community that supports children in foster care
Many faith communities care for children in foster care and their families: meals when a new child arrives, clothing closets, respite care, mentoring, and foster parent support groups. Find a faith community in your area that supports children in foster care, and ask how you can be of service. If your own congregation does not have a ministry like this yet, FAN can help you start the conversation.
FAN Partner Events 📅
Events from our partner agencies that serve children in foster care, their caregivers and their parents. Show up, share them, cheer them on.
For partners: events are listed when the primary focus is children in foster care, their caregivers (foster, adoptive or kinship), or their parents. Fostering Great Ideas reviews every event. Questions? [email protected]
