WHAT FOUNDERS FUND

The Friday night phone call. The licensing fee. The therapy appointment.

Most support for foster and kinship families arrives too late, asks too much, or stops too soon. When it does exist, it tends to focus narrowly, leaving caregivers running on empty and entire households underserved. The Carmona Foundation is built around a different premise: that real stability requires supporting everyone in the home. The Founder’s Program is how we build the capacity to respond to the moments that matter, reliably, not just when resources allow. 

​

This support reaches every type of placement, every age, and every member of the household, because stability is not something one person in a family achieves alone. 

FOUNDING GIFTS

Support capacity is built by the people who decide it should exist.

All donations fund direct family support and the intake and disbursement systems that ensure families can focus on the reason they said "yes" in the first place. Founder-level donors ensure all tracks can be accessible from day one.

This is not a gala ask. It is a direct invitation to those who understand that the difference between a placement that holds and one that doesn't is usually something specific, practical, and fixable.
