Special Funds Descriptions:

CCFAPA offers a number of special funds as an alternative to sponsorship or to supplement the sponsorship program. Contributions may be made to these funds in any amount and at any frequency. One hundred percent of all contributions are used for the children within our county and for the purpose designated.

General Fund

Contributions to this fund are used to help the many children in care, to provide for special needs.

Christmas Fund

In celebration of the Christmas season, every child participates in celebrations that respect their religion and culture. Gifts (practical and fun) or additional benefits are selected by the project staff to ensure appropriateness.

Sponsorship Assistance Fund

The assistance program allows the older ones that are aging out of foster care to start out on their own. We help them secure housing, employment and necessary health care services. Many foster children each year face this daunting task. The difficulty of achieving independence for the first time is often compounded by a history of abuse or neglect. Many children have experienced multiple placements in foster care, disrupting their physical, mental, educational and social growth. Unlike their non-foster peers, youth who age out of foster care frequently lack the support of a strong family network. These factors often mean that upon exiting care, many youth will struggle to meet their basic needs.

If you are interested in giving to our Association call Marie 770-378-0759 or for more information, contact mblackwell@fosteroradopt.org . We will be glad to tailor an option for you.
