Our big announcement is ... our name is evolving from Together We Rise to Foster Love. Our mission, vision and various programs will remain the same. The only thing changing about our organization is the name. We decided to update our name to Foster Love as a way to put our mission forward. With the name Foster Love it is clear that we support foster youth, and we hope this shift will inspire more people to get involved.

Foster Love is a 501(c)3 non-profit helping American youth in foster care through team building service-projects.
About us
Foster Love formerly Together We Rise is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization comprised of motivated young adults and former foster youth. Our vision is to improve the lives of foster children in America, who often find themselves forgotten and neglected by the public. We collaborate with community partners to bring resources to foster youth and use service-learning and team building activities to educate corporate and individual volunteers on issues surrounding the foster care system. We work with hundreds of foster agencies, social workers, CASA advocates, and other partners to bring our programs to foster youth across the nation. Our foundation has allowed us to provide thousands of foster youth across the country with new bicycles, college supplies, and suitcases so that children do not have to travel from home to home with their belongings in a trash bag.

Foster care news you need to know ⬇ 1. California lawmakers have approved a groundbreaking $1 billion plan to support foster youth. The plan will provide between $500 and $900 a month for extracurriculars. 2. "Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot," released on July 4th, is a documentary that follows Donna and Reverend Martin as they lead their rural Texas church to embrace and care for children in the foster system that no one else would take. 3. The "Safe Landings Act," pending approval in New York, aims to reform the child welfare system to ensure aged-out foster youth receive the services they were promised, including crucial resources like mental health counseling and support for transitioning to independence. #FosterCareNews #FosterLove #FosterCare

Members of the Hiscox Underwriting Solutions Team and the Claims Team recently had the opportunity to volunteer with our National Partner, Foster Love, through the Hiscox Foundation USA. The Underwriting Solutions Team spent the morning building 40 limited edition Pokémon skateboards and helmets, which will be directly donated to foster children in need. The Claims Team was able to assemble STEM boxes, which are always a fan-favorite and enable learning and development for the kids. Thank you to everyone who participated and for your continued support of Foster Love. #LifeAtHiscox #HiscoxUSA #EncourageCourage #Volunteering

The Smiths had always known deep down that they wanted to adopt Ava, but the family faced a unique challenge: their home wasn't set up to accommodate another child. Despite already having five sons, the Smith family made the remarkable decision to expand their home to welcome Ava after years in the foster care system ❤️ #FosterLove #FosterCare
