Through our I Belong Project we gave a face and voice to 252 legally-free, waiting children by creating high quality videos of each child or sibling set. Through our Dream Makers Project, hundreds of aging out youth were given support to launch into their future. This year we celebrated that 140 Dreams were filled, 29 youth were given Dream Packs, 17 youth were moved into their first apartment, and 50 youth participated in holiday dinner events. In 2017 America's Kids Belong made an impact in all of our collaborative spheres. We held 6 government events to help build bridges to connect the resources of the community with the needs of the Government and Child Welfare offices. We had over 150 churches and foundations engage with our work to help recruit new foster and adoptive families and provide "Wrap Around" support for these families. We saw a growing number of businesses, artists and influencers volunteer their time, talent and professional skills to help give children in foster care a face and a voice. All of this would not have been possible without our 409 volunteers who dedicated 3,366 hours through events, projects, and day-to-day work. 778624 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 false false false false false false false false false true 13 0 true 17 false false false false false false false false false 0 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 Chairman 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Joe Miller Secretary 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Ron Schaefer Treasurer 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Kathryn Bohmann Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dawn Davis Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rick Rusaw Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tim Shirk Director 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 954681 954681 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 954681 0 0 0 0 90000 76500 9000 4500 0 436494 371020 43649 21825 1372 1166 137 69 11052 9394 1105 553 42030 35726 4203 2101 0 1070 910 107 53 13388 11380 1339 669 0 0 0 62372 53017 6238 3117 5546 4714 555 277 0 0 0 0 18254 15516 1825 913 0 0 0 0 4431 3766 443 222 5726 4867 573 286 Dream packs & other purchases 94497 80322 9450 4725 Conferences 27286 23193 2729 1364 Auto 19172 16296 1917 959 Dues & subscriptions 17638 14992 1764 882 65699 55845 6570 3284 916027 778624 91604 45799 247072 170107 0 0 220377 0 0 0 0 0 41201 23310 22322 17891 0 0 0 0 625 0 270019 408375 4180 40534 4180 40534 X 160222 278814 105617 89027 265839 367841 270019 408375 38654 63348 X false false false X 155210 133023 228450 410283 1208129 2135095 0 0 0 0 155210 133023 228450 410283 1208129 2135095 0 0 2135095 0 0 0 0 155210 133023 228450 410283 1208129 2135095 1.00000 1.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 4600 4600 36601 23310 13291 17891 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process The return is reviewed by all the board members.
