What Foster Families Navigation & Resource Center Inc does
Mission
Equipping foster, adoptive, and kinship families with essential resources and guidance to navigate the system and thrive.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Foster family support - ffnrc provides essential resources and personalized guidance to foster, kinship, and adoptive families navigating the child welfare system. The program offers access to essentials such as clothing, hygiene and school supplies, baby gear, coats and shoes, as well as training and support, lessening the strain on families as they take in these children. We also house an interim waiting area for our children who have been removed but are awaiting a placement as well as a visitation space where biological parents can host visits with their children who are in care. In 2024 we served 1400 individuals, hosted 36 hours of parenting time, 158 hours of training, and served 9 counties.
$157,611 spent96% of program spendingFoster care support - ffrnc provides encouragement and supoort to its child welfare workers. This has a direct impact on the retention rate of these workers, which then impacts the rate of permanence for kids in foster care. In 2024 we celebrated almost 200 child welfare workers for national hospitality week. We also hosted 4 on site events for these workers. 2 in saginaw and 1 each in bay and midland.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $343k to $261k (−24%).
How it's funded, over time

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
76% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund FOSTER FAMILIES NAVIGATION & RESOURCE CENTER INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 100% · 2022 70% · 2023 92% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
65% of FOSTER FAMILIES NAVIGATION & RESOURCE CENTER INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $125k that is directly attributable, 70% of it comes from Michigan funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $233k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
