FaithBridge foster children range from birth to 21 years of age and all have entered foster care due to abuse and/or neglect. In 2024, FaithBridge served a total of 290 children. We saw 73 children reunified with their birth families and when returning home was not possible, 37 children were adopted by their FaithBridge foster family. 3144864 2014735 Support for Young Adults Aging Out of Care: FaithBridge Youth Opportunities assists young adults in Georgia, between the ages of 18 and 26, who have aged out of foster care on their journey into adulthood. Young adults are provided with financial assistance (to support room and board, transportation, tuition, education supplies, healthcare, and other living assistance), life coaching, and enrollment support into post-secondary institutions. FaithBridge Youth Opportunities assisted more than 296 young adults with financial assistance, life coaching, and enrollment support to achieve acceptance into 50 post-secondary institutions throughout Georgia. 526795 Adoption and Child Life History: Each year, approximately 1,600 children in Georgia's foster care system need families who will adopt them. FaithBridge works to find adoptive homes for these children - specifically teens, sibling groups of three or more, and children with special needs. FaithBridge also works with the State of Georgia to provide Child Life Histories (compilations of official documents such as birth certificates and medical histories, and historical information like birth family details and school records) for children who are eligible for adoption, ensuring that they have all of their required documents to be adopted. In 2024, FaithBridge matched three families with children waiting in the foster care system to be adopted, resulting in two children finding their forever homes. Additionally, FaithBridge completed 576 Child Life Histories, making adoption possible for each child. 630606 Foster Home Recruitment and Development: FaithBridge recruits, trains, and supports foster and adoptive families in local churches. We license them to provide community-based, short-and long-term traditional, medically fragile, and therapeutic care as well as adoptive homes for foster children in Georgia. In 2024 FaithBridge launched 14 new church partners. Through these partners, FaithBridge recruited, trained, and licensed 64 new foster, adoptive, and respite families and supported more than 204 foster homes. 393585 FaithBridgeU Online Learning: In order to care for children successfully, we must excel at supporting and retaining quality foster families. FaithBridgeU was built from a vision in which every foster parent has access to high-quality, Christ-centered, professionally informed training, built through collaboration. Courses are designed to engage learners, offer practical tools for parenting, and connect with families through stories, interviews, and testimonies. In 2024, FaithBridgeU provided training to more than 1,530 foster and adoptive parents in addition to the FaithBridge community. 1024191 9900890 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false true false false false false false false true false false false true true false false false false false true false false true false false false false false true false false false false false true 53 0 true 60 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 5 4 true false false false false false false true false false false false true true true true true true false true false false GA X Kelvin Stewart 6786907100 2555 Northwinds Parkway Alpharetta GA 30009 Leslie Kurtz Treasurer 2.0 X X 0 0 0 Richard L Jackson Chairman 4.0 X X 0 0 0 Wayne Stolz Secretary 2.0 X X 0 0 0 Charlie Evans Director 2.0 X 0 0 0 Laurence H Powell Director 2.0 X 0 0 0 Bob Bruder-Mattson President and CEO 40.0 X 0 0 0 Kelvin Stewart Vice President of Finance 40.0 X 138327 0 13330 David Deal VP Marketing and Community Engagement 40.0 X 169061 0 54411 Jessi Esterling VP of Foster Care Ops 40.0 X 139383 0 51057 John Solberg Vice President of Youth Opportunities 40.0 X 127713 0 29750 574484 0 148548 4 false true false 0 591500 4482806 2000 5074306 Direct Foster Care 900099 6200213 6200213 0 0 0 0 6200213 26577 26577 0 0 0 0 0 591500 39517 -39517 -39517 Other Revenue 900099 7314 7314 0 0 0 0 7314 11268893 6200213 0 -5626 2014735 2014735 151657 151657 67076 56116 5657 5303 3385515 2909547 219146 256822 75365 63860 5465 6040 479292 379316 51927 48049 303657 252389 29984 21284 1206 1052 154 35000 30450 4550 622316 581813 40503 0 70737 57219 3859 9659 161288 131197 10020 20071 151757 144304 3833 3620 155977 134058 13404 8515 170671 164523 3013 3135 40042 38664 1378 82823 72128 10695 Foster Parent per Diem & Reimbursements 2854827 2854827 Food and Beverages 17896 14692 1489 1715 0 0 0 0 10841837 9900890 555356 385591 1073951 1324673 595332 657705 0 0 0 0 63763 92145 608606 429580 222040 179026 0 0 0 0 1955086 2253549 592977 463569 1028 1843 0 0 594005 465412 X 1099253 1064482 261828 723655 1361081 1788137 1955086 2253549 427056 0 X false true true true true X 471831 1318383 1232571 1836723 5074306 9933814 6639595 6315630 6469874 6072451 6200213 31697763 0 0 0 7111426 7634013 7702445 7909174 11274519 41631577 32221 28781 40103 162000 188400 451505 0 0 0 0 0 0 32221 28781 40103 162000 188400 451505 41180072 9227 26577 35804 0 0 0 0 9227 26577 35804 0 14012 18105 1404 18666 7314 59501 7125438 7652118 7703849 7937067 11308410 41726882 0.98690 0.97924 0 0.0 X Schedule A, Part III FaithBridge Foster Care is a public charity under section 509(a)(2) and completes Schedule A (Form 990), Part III.
