It is work that yields downstream, generational impact, illuminated by last year'srelease of Brian Mavis' book, Go Upstream: Diving Into Foster Core ToHeal 10 Social Wounds. It is rare to see foster care rank among the top issues of concern to Americans,yet kids who experience foster care often lack a sense of belonging. Detachedfrom families, they are far more vulnerable to the issues that do makeheadlines-homelessness, poverty, trafficking, incarceration, addiction and more.The goal of this report each year is lo be accountable to you, our investors, for the impact we're generating. We hold our measurable impact in delicate balance with individual stories of lives changed. This year we are proud to report some big numbers. And we are grateful to share some of the stories of how America's Kids Belong is caring for children, families and communities.In 2025 we formally launched Fostering Front Door, building on a decade of trust and digital growth to meet rising interest in foster care, with clear pathways for learning and action. This momentum was fueled by platforms we introduced in 2024, including the Foster Friendly Podcast and the FosterCon webinar series. Through FosterCon, foster parents earn continuing education credits, reducing barriers to support and strengthening retention. Notably, about 30% of participants across both platforms are social workers, extending AKB's reach deep into the child welfare system. Together, these efforts are turning curiosity into understanding--and understanding into action. The cornerstone of our mission is our Belong Project, a video storytelling initiative that helps adoption-eligible kids in foster care find belonging with families. Our shoot days create memorable experiences for the kids and show appreciation to the dedicated workers who get them there. 2001437 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 30 0 true 31 false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 3 3 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X X X Phil Grizzle 9709783212 1151 Eagle Drive 464 Loveland CO 80537 X Dairius Kawewehi Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Anthony Ritchie V Chair/secr 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Tim Shirk Chairman/treas 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 2818092 141109 2818092 0 33537 33537 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2851629 33537 0 0 0 0 0 0 2073394 1483396 366951 223047 0 18802 18802 164997 118050 29105 17842 0 0 0 0 0 0 207073 41718 142504 22851 134232 19659 108210 6363 252946 40600 192022 20324 0 0 0 95577 67595 14485 13497 0 0 0 0 4700 4700 0 Direct program costs 250379 197690 47170 5519 Volunteer & staff related 46473 18019 22921 5533 Merchant fees 19337 19337 Meals & entertainment 14999 10741 4217 41 15965 3969 11210 786 3298874 2001437 981634 315803 1952558 2322810 0 0 28410 1484 0 0 0 0 0 23569 9400 18800 14169 0 0 0 0 797749 14905 2797517 2353368 134053 137149 134053 137149 X 1435714 1865006 1227750 351213 2663464 2216219 2797517 2353368 -447245 X false true X false false X 2955198 2471255 2933724 3770940 2818092 14949209 0 0 0 0 2955198 2471255 2933724 3770940 2818092 14949209 0 0 14949209 2884 27469 33537 63890 0 2884 27469 33537 63890 0 0 2955198 2471255 2936608 3798409 2851629 15013099 0.99570 0.95800 0.00430 0.00210 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 23569 9400 14169 14169 Goods 88935 market Services 52174 market false false false Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The return is reviewed by all the board members.
