What Warm Blankets Childrens Foundation Inc Dba Kinship United does
Mission
The mission of warm blankets orphan care is to restore childhoods in christ for permanently displaced and orphaned children as we raise them to be disciples and leaders who bring about permanent change right where god planted them. They accomplish this mission through partnership with indigenous churches and leadership training to disciple and restore the lives of orphans and widows. Dedicated orphan rescue teams venture boldly into war zones, jungles, slums and refugee camps to rescue orphans. They give hope to desperate widows who have been abandoned by their family and community, providing them a sense of purpose in the loving atmosphere of a church orphan home. To date, warm blankets orphan care has rescued thousands of orphans from their dire circumstances and placed them in over 200 safe and secure church orphan homes where they are raised and loved by the local pastor, his wife and widows from the community.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

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 $1.5M to $2.5M (+73%).
