Individual Giving
With over 360,000 foster youth in foster care and a new child entering care every 2 minutes, we need our communities support to help reach thousands of youth from the moment they enter care through their transition into adulthood.
Together we can ease the stress and everyday hurdles foster youth of all ages face, provide opportunities to just be a kid and decrease the odds of homelessness as they age out of care. Every donor has the opportunity to specify what program you'd like your donation to focus on, or just select "do what's best for the kids", and we'll make sure your donation is used for the biggest current need.
How Your Donations Help Kids
Everyday Essentials
Ticket to Dream puts our non-profit status and retail background to work to stretch every dollar. We are able to purchase key essential items at wholesale pricing, and we work with retailers to accept millions of dollars in overstock and excess inventory, allowing us to provide new shoes, socks, underwear, clothes, and even holiday gifts for cents on the dollar.
Extracurricular Access
Childhood is full of milestones, and our GoPlay program helps foster youth to participate in childhood fun too. Your donations help pay for the sign-up fees and equipment to enroll foster kids in sports, clubs, camps, and more! Kids get to choose their passion and learn life skills while having fun.
Helping Foster Youth Find Success
Over 50% of young adults that age out of foster care end up homeless within 2 years. Our Take Flight program funds support programs that reduces homelessness, increases laptop access, graduation rates and employment rates.
Hyper Focused Support for Underserved Kids
Our Ally program provides hyper-focused support for the unmet needs Black, Hispanic and LGBTQ+ youth face within care.
