What Fostering Promise does
Mission
The mission of Fostering Promise is to ensure that every young person who ages out of foster care has a safe place to call home, the support of a caring mentor and the hope for a promising future.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
During this fiscal year, Fostering Promise made major strides toward ensuring Not Even One young person ages out of foster care into homelessness. We convened 220 leaders at the first Bay Area Youth Housing Summit, resulting in Santa Clara Countys commitment to set aside 500 housing units and streamline FYI/FUP voucher access. We expanded four cross-sector policy workgroups and partnered with San Jos State University to build a beta Housing Repository. In San Francisco, we strengthened collaboration with CASA, county systems partners, and housing developers implementing our 4-policy priorities.

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $200,208.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2024, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2024, 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 2024 to 2025, from $32k to $260k (+709%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2025 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of FOSTERING PROMISE’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
4 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 17% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of FOSTERING PROMISE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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.
How concentrated its funding is
FOSTERING PROMISE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 36% of grant income and the top three 74%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
55% 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 FOSTERING PROMISE.
“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
100% of FOSTERING PROMISE's grant income comes from California funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $60k 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.
