We are committed to driving system change while providing timely, on-the-ground support and training for both current and future caregivers-as well as the professionals who serve them. 11,000 children are in foster care statewide, and more than 5,000 licensed foster homes are needed to meet the ongoing demand. At the same time, many caregivers leave within the first year due to a lack of support, training, and connection. These numbers reflect a system stretched thin and underscore the urgency of our work. Our largest area of focus is caregiver recruitment and retention for children involved in the child welfare system, including those who have achieved permanency. This is where we excel, largely due to the lived experience of our staff, many of whom are current or former caregivers themselves. We work closely with NCDHHS on statewide recruitment strategies, serve on state- level workgroups, and engage directly in advocacy at local and regional recruitment events. At FFA-NC, we believe in walking alongside caregivers from the moment they say yes to the moment their story reaches its next chapter. Whether a caregiver is fostering, pursuing adoption, or supporting reunification, we ensure they are not alone on the journey. Additionally, we are proud to provide unique, impactful training to professionals across North Carolina. Because of our lived experiences, we are able to offer a perspective that brings the caregiver journey to life. Through real stories, authentic voices, and the presence of our families, we help professionals better understand and support those who step forward to care for children in need. . As the state continues to work toward improved outcomes-such as reducing time to permanency, increasing placement stability, and preventing entry into care-FFA-NC stands as a critical partner in building and sustaining the caregiver community at the heart of it all. 968798 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true true true false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 2 0 32 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 12 12 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true false true true true false false X Susan Gaile Osborne 8287070357 26 Castlewood Dr Alexander NC 28701 Susan Gaile Osborne Executive Director 40.00 X 88521 0 0 Tracy Boggiano President 10.00 X X 0 0 0 Douglas Price Vice-President 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Daniel Dunning Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Arlette Lambert Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Ryan Bently Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Joanne Scaturro Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Celena Harris Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lisa Lynn Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Megan Spidell Beaver Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Amanda Hooper Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Sarah Norris Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kesha Ezenma Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 88521 0 0 false false false 7520 827463 834983 Foster Care Family Support 624100 322147 0 0 322147 5100 7520 6843 -1743 0 -1743 Other Income 999999 423 423 0 0 423 1155810 322570 0 -1743 23328 23328 10000 10000 88521 77898 8852 1771 337316 296838 33732 6746 39158 34459 3916 783 32662 0 32662 0 1750 1750 171596 137973 33623 0 57905 39562 18343 0 9164 3411 5753 0 5484 5212 272 0 21971 21971 0 0 43281 24894 11596 6791 10872 10872 0 0 22381 5301 17080 0 Foster Program Training 61485 60985 500 0 Foster Family Support 54717 54717 0 0 Caregiver and Family Events 80879 79129 1116 634 Retention and Caregiver Support 53209 44986 8223 0 43846 37262 5853 731 1169525 968798 181521 19206 256657 224620 11544 11244 54360 14030 51202 40330 6300 20096 325703 296290 41410 11916 6442 20096 47852 32012 X 234776 -30674 43075 294952 277851 264278 325703 296290 -13715 142 X false true X true false X 0 0 3983 59587 188752 349678 834983 1436983 62500 145000 97860 402444 322147 1029951 0 0 66483 204587 286612 752122 1157130 2466934 65000 120000 50000 235000 62500 145000 97000 131944 296396 732840 62500 145000 162000 251944 346396 967840 1499094 860 225 423 1508 2468442 0.60730 0.49830 0.00000 0.00000 X Pt III Ln 12 Other Income Part III, Line 12 Description: Other Income 2022: 860. 2023: 225. 2024: 423.
