“We will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one…There is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it—if only we’re brave enough to be it.”

#GirlsGivingGrants (g3) undertook last weekend's "site visits" using Zoom. The g3 team visited Mother's Milk Bank Austin and @FriendsATX, preparing notes for the vote to specifically direct their $10,300 in 2020 funding. g3 will fund both finalists at this difficult time.

March’s Core Asset is Self-Determination: I believe in myself and am able to set goals and achieve them. Every year our youth and Friends identify goals that they will work on together built around one of our intermediate outcomes.

Admittedly, we "borrowed" the quote in the picture from @FriendsNational, but how could we not? It describes January's Core Asset, #SelfManagement, so well. It's such a powerful message for children to know they can work through their feelings when things are difficult!

This is an astonishing number. What if every child in #fostercare could have a Friend? It would change the face of the foster care system.
Analysis of new AFCARS data finds that the rate of children in foster care rose in 39 states in 2017. The rate of children in foster care in each state ranged from a low of 2.5 per 1,000 (Virginia) to a high of 17.8 per 1,000 (West Virginia). buff.ly/2F4aScq

Watch to see the difference a consistent, caring adult can make in a child's life. We make a 12.5 year commitment so there can be more stories like Angel's. DOUBLE your impact! Your tax-deductible gift will be matched by the @AllWaysUpFDN thru Dec. 31. bit.ly/2S9bNMv

Research shows that a relationship with a caring adult can help children develop socially, emotionally, and cognitively. But what about the caregivers?
@FriendsNational shows the value of programs with mentors who work with youth AND their families: aecf.org/blog/study-long-ter…
