After laying strong groundwork this year, our AKB affiliate Virginias Kids Belong will be the third state within our history to launch a full collective impact campaign next year. We were excited that throughout these spheres 972 volunteers donated 2946 hours to make a difference with our I Belong Project, Dream Makers Project, fundraising events, faith sphere events, and through administrative assistance. One of Americas 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 2018 there were 16 video shoots across 4 states leading to 183 I Belong Project videos produced and shared of more than 207 children waiting for a family. 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, more than 1,000 families were recruited to take a 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 13 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 167 Dreams, move 26 youth into their first apartments, provide a graduation party and gift to 150 youth, provide a stocking and Christmas dinner for 100 youth, and meet the emergency needs of 43 youth. We also celebrated exciting news in Colorado. Our Dream Makers staff in CO worked alongside state elected officials to present HB18-1319 which was approved in May to become a law. This bill permits Colorado counties to provide services for youth who are emancipating from foster care until they are 21 using core services funding. Previously youth decided on their 18th birthday if they wanted to be emancipated and could not elect back into services when they realized they needed the support. 869808 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 false false false true false false false false false false false false true 10 0 true 22 false false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false 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 Bates 3148253160 1540 Main Street 331 Windsor CO 80550 Mark Deuschle Director 0.00 0.00 X 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 X 0 0 0 Joe Ritchie Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Heather Shropshire 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 0 0 0 Brian M Mavis President 40.00 0.00 X X 90000 0 0 90000 0 false false false 0 1062924 30778 1062924 0 151 151 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1063075 151 0 0 0 0 90000 71640 12780 5580 0 491308 391081 69766 30461 0 12871 10245 1828 798 52628 41892 7473 3263 0 0 0 0 0 0 85863 68347 12193 5323 1447 1152 205 90 29314 23334 4163 1817 0 0 0 42531 33855 6039 2637 0 0 0 0 6294 5010 894 390 0 Direct program costs 165180 131483 23456 10241 Events 59374 47262 8431 3681 Conference honoraria 14275 11363 2027 885 Dues & subscriptions 14207 11309 2017 881 27431 21835 3895 1701 1092723 869808 155167 67748 170107 358694 0 0 220377 9285 0 0 0 0 0 41201 29604 17891 11597 0 0 0 0 0 408375 379576 40534 42883 40534 42883 X 278814 283952 89027 52741 367841 336693 408375 379576 -29648 -1500 X false true X false false X 133023 228450 410283 954681 1062924 2789361 0 0 0 0 133023 228450 410283 954681 1062924 2789361 0 0 2789361 151 151 0 151 151 0 0 133023 228450 410283 954681 1063075 2789512 0.99990 1.00000 0.00010 X 4600 4600 36601 29604 6997 11597 X Services contributed 1 30778 market false false false Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process The return is reviewed by all the board members.
