FosterAll

What FosterAll does

FosterAll is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1985 (originally as Child S.H.A.R.E., later rebranded) and headquartered in Glendale, California. The organization recruits foster and adoptive families and guides them through the foster care journey across Los Angeles, Riverside, and Orange Counties, operating two physical offices (Glendale and Riverside). Its three core programs are the Foster/Adopt Program, which personally helps families select an appropriate foster family agency and provides ongoing support; the Faith Partnership Program, which establishes tailored Foster Care Programs in more than 350 faith communities; and Hilaroo Camp, a supplementary camp experience for children in foster care. Services are delivered in both English and Spanish, with a stated focus on the Hispanic community given that roughly 60% of LA County foster children are Hispanic.

The organization serves two primary segments: prospective foster and adoptive families navigating a fragmented landscape of foster family agencies, and faith congregations seeking structured programs to support foster families within their communities. FosterAll does not offer a technology platform, mobile app, or public-facing API; its value proposition is entirely service-based, anchored in personal guidance, bilingual delivery, and community embeddedness, and is supported by 3,600+ documented successful foster journey stories.

FosterAll is funded through donations and charitable contributions (including annual fundraising galas) and through government and institutional partnerships, most notably a contract with Riverside County's Department of Public Social Services to run the Faith in Motion program (covering 100+ faith communities) and a strategic partnership with the Archdiocese of Los Angeles (140+ faith communities partnered, 600+ family sign-ups). The organization is led by Executive Director Lou Moore and operates with 11-50 employees.
