We engaged the business sphere and 163 businesses got involved with their time, talent, or treasure to make a difference for foster families and youth aging out of foster care. Once again, in 2019, we engaged the faith sphere. 253 Churches were contacted, educated, or engaged this year for a total of 524 Churches contacted/engaged since 2018. Within those churches, 290 individuals are now trained in trauma and are more equipped to support foster families and children. We were excited that throughout these spheres 891 volunteers donated 3771 hours to make a difference with our I Belong Project, Dream Makers Project, fund raising events, faith sphere events, and through administrative assistance.One of America's Kids Belong signature programs is the I Belong Project. With the help of the creative community, the I Belong Project is telling stories. Actually, through the I Belong Project, kids in foster care are telling their own story. In 2019, there were 26 I Belong Project video shoots across 8 states. 366 kids were able to share their story. We hit a major milestone this year as we crossed 1,000 videos produced! These kids, on camera, were able to share with potential parents and families, their personality, what makes them tick, and all the hopes they have for a future with a family who would love them. Through these videos and recruitment events at churches, hundreds of families were recruited to take the next step to learn more about foster care or attend an orientation with the goal of becoming a certified foster parent. Another signature program is Dream Makers Project, which provides support for youth that are aging out or have already emancipated from the foster care system. This year emancipated youth in 19 different states were impacted through our Dream Makers Project. Through the investment of their time and their finances, individuals, churches, and businesses helped to fulfill 241 Dreams for a total of 684 Dreams filled since the Dream Makers Project started in 2015. 1179553 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 27 0 true 22 false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 8 8 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X Laurie Zauche 3148253160 1540 Main Street 331 Windsor CO 80550 Brian M Mavis President 40.00 0.00 X X 90000 0 0 Mark Deuschle Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Todd Kinzle Vice Chairman 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Ed Gillespie Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joe Ritchie Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rick Rusaw Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tim Shirk Chairman 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Deborah Shropshire Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 90000 0 false false false 0 2021485 190073 2021485 0 1015 1015 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2022500 1015 X 0 0 0 0 90000 61459 20223 8318 0 803652 548800 180574 74278 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 201515 137611 45278 18626 20795 14201 4672 1922 58613 40026 13170 5417 0 0 0 89391 61044 20085 8262 0 0 0 0 5134 3506 1154 474 0 Direct program costs 206252 140846 46343 19063 Events 148749 101578 33423 13748 Volunteer & staff related 44962 30704 10102 4156 Dues & subscriptions 29873 20400 6712 2761 28377 19378 6376 2623 1727313 1179553 388112 159648 358694 706300 0 0 9285 3651 0 0 0 0 0 41201 36601 11597 4600 0 0 0 0 1104 379576 715655 42883 85638 42883 85638 X 283952 550979 52741 79038 336693 630017 379576 715655 295187 -1863 X false true X false false X 228450 410283 954681 1062924 2021485 4677823 0 0 0 0 228450 410283 954681 1062924 2021485 4677823 11102 11102 0 11102 11102 4666721 151 1015 1166 0 151 1015 1166 0 0 228450 410283 954681 1063075 2022500 4678989 0.99740 0.99990 0.00020 0.00010 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 4600 4600 36601 36601 4600 Services 25 45985 market Products 10 12316 market Fundraising 1 1705 market Meals 1 367 market Conference fees 100 129700 list price false false false Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process The return is reviewed by all the board members.
