Ways to Support DCFYI

Your donation is an investment in the future of deserving youth. It’s an affirmation of the importance of this work and a belief that together we can make a better life for the youth we serve.

Please support our efforts to help foster youth find the nurturing and support of a loving family as they prepare for adulthood.

Your shopping can help teens find loving families. What could be more rewarding than that?

Sign up with any of these services and DCFYI will receive a small donation when you shop.

Much-needed funding for us at no cost to you.

It only takes a few minutes to sign up; search for “Family and Youth Initiative.”

Become a partner; sponsor one (or more) of our events. Share information with your members and help others who might want to host, mentor or adopt learn about us.

Help us meet needs of youth (especially those who have aged out of care and are now in their own apartments). Please contact us if you can provide any of the items shown on this spreadsheet. If you have items to donate, please complete the lower section of the spreadsheet and we will let you know if there is a youth  who can use those items. Thank you!

Want to make your special day meaningful? Pledge your birthday and create a DCFYI fundraising page through Facebook. This is a great way to celebrate with friends and family, all while enabling teens in foster care to make meaningful relationships with adults.

Time limited volunteer role and critical to DCFYI's continued existence - join the committee for our annual Establishing Roots fundraiser. We promise not a lot of committee meetings, just some hard work and feeling of accomplishment at the end of a successful evening!
