Mission and programs · 2023

• RESOURCE FOSTER CARE: WHILE THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT LEVELS AND TYPES OF RESOURCE CARE WITHIN THE PROGRAM, THE PRIMARY FOCUS IS TO WORK CLOSELY WITH EACH AND EVERY RESOURCE CARE FAMILY. SOME OF THE SERVICES INCLUDE: 24 HOUR ON-CALL SOCIAL WORKER, SUPPORT MEETINGS, FREE ONGOING TRAINING, RESPITE CARE, RESOURCE PARENT LIABILITY INSURANCE. A CHILD IS PLACED IN RESOURCE CARE WHEN A COURT DETERMINES THE CHILD'S HOME LIFE IS DANGEROUS, INAPPROPRIATE, OR UNHEALTHY, OR WHEN THE CHILD'S BEHAVIORS CANNOT BE MANAGED AT HOME. MANY CHILDREN HAVE EXPERIENCED LIVES OF ABUSE AND/OR NEGLECT. THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF RESOURCE CARE IS TO RESOLVE FAMILY CONFLICTS OR DISRUPTIONS AND RETURN THE CHILD TO HIS OR HER NATURAL FAMILY. IF REINTEGRATION WITH THE NATURAL FAMILY PROVES IMPOSSIBLE, CHILDREN ARE OFTEN PLACED FOR ADOPTION OR PREPARED FOR ADULTHOOD THROUGH INDEPENDENT LIVING. THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS, THE RESOURCE PARENT WORKS CLOSELY WITH THE CHILD'S NATURAL FAMILY AND CHILD WELFARE PROFESSIONALS TO ENSURE THAT THE CHILD HAS A CHANCE TO BLOSSOM AS A HEALTHY, WELL-ADJUSTED MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY. RESOURCE FAMILIES PROVIDE AN ALTERNATE HOME LIKE SETTING FOR CHILDREN WHO ARE NOT ABLE TO SAFELY LIVE WITH THEIR PARENTS. RESOURCE PARENTS UNDERGO TRAINING AND STATE LICENSURE TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE SPECIAL CHALLENGES CHILDREN WHO ARE PLACED WITH THEM MIGHT FACE, AND TO PROVIDE THEM WITH SKILLS TO WORK WITH THE CHILD, THE CHILD'S FAMILY, THE SOCIAL WORKER OR CASE MANAGER, AND THE LEGAL SYSTEM. THE FAMILY INITIATIVE, INC. PROVIDES SPONSORSHIP FOR STATE LICENSED RESOURCE FAMILIES, AND PROVIDES SUPPORTIVE SERVICES TO ASSIST THEM WITH ANY PROBLEMS OR CHALLENGES THAT MIGHT OCCUR DURING THE PLACEMENT OF A CHILD IN A HOME. DURING THIS PERIOD THERE WERE 224 RESOURCE HOMES, WITH A DAILY AVERAGE OF 260 CHILDREN IN THE HOMES THAT WERE SPONSORED BY THE FAMILY INITIATIVE, INC.

Officers and directors · 2023

As listed in Part VII of the 2023 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
