Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

CARING FOR KIDS SEEKS TO PROVIDE CHILDREN OF ALL AGES WITH THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF A HEALTHY AND LOVING FAMILY. WE BELIEVE THAT EACH CHILD, REGARDLESS OF GENDER, RACE, NATIONALITY OR SPECIAL NEED DESERVES A FAMILY.

Activities or mission (Part I)

DURING THE 2022-2023 FISCAL YEAR CFK SERVICED 367 FOSTER AND ADOPTIVE FAMILIES, 233 INFANTS AND CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE/ADOPTIVE PLACEMENTS AND 121 EXPECTANT PARENTS. CARING FOR KIDS (CFK) HAS BEEN OPERATING SINCE 1996 CERTIFYING FOSTER CAREGIVERS AND APPROVING PRE-ADOPTIVE PARENTS TO ADOPT. CFK IS A FULL-SERVICE FOSTER CARE AND ADOPTION AGENCY LICENSED BY THE OHIO DEPARTMENT OF JOB AND FAMILY SERVICES (ODJFS).

FOSTER CARE HAS BEEN THE FOUNDATIONAL PROGRAM OF CFK FOR OVER 20 YEARS BY CERTIFYING FOSTER CAREGIVERS AND THUS, PROVIDING SAFE AND NURTURING HOMES FOR ABUSED AND NEGLECTED CHILDREN IN THE CUSTODY OF CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES. OVER THE YEARS WE HAVE SEEN A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN COMING INTO FOSTER CARE RESULTING IN A CONSTANT NEED TO RECRUIT AND CERTIFY NEW FOSTER CAREGIVERS. OHIO CHILDREN ARE ENTERING FOSTER CARE AT A RATE NEVER BEFORE SEEN. THE MAIN REASONS FOR THE INCREASE IN NUMBERS OF CHILDREN COMING INTO CARE REVOLVE AROUND PARENTAL DRUG ADDICTION AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. SOMETIMES, CHILDREN DO NOT RETURN HOME, AND FOSTER CAREGIVERS ARE NEEDED TO NOT ONLY FOSTER BUT TO ADOPT CHILDREN WHO ARE PLACED WITH THEM. 29 OF THE 199 PLACEMENTS SWITCHED FROM FOSTER TO ADOPTION STATUS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
