Utah Foster Care Foundation
Utah Foster Care Foundation (UFCF) is a non-profit organization that provides foster families for the State of Utah. Since their founding, UFCF has played a role in caring for young children who have been subjected to abuse, neglect, and other hardships by their caretakers. As of 2013, at any given time in Utah, there are about 2,700 children experiencing crisis in the home who are in need of foster care. Nearly half of all cases involve substance abuse by biological parents. Given the difficult circumstances and special needs of these children, UFCF's goal is to find and prepare foster parents to meet those needs. They accomplish this goal by finding, educating, and nurturing families willing to open their homes to children in foster care.
The Utah Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS), the agency responsible for the placement of children in foster homes, contracts with UFCF to recruit, train, and retain the families needed to care for these children in crisis. Thus, UFCF is not a child placement agency, but works directly with DCFS to meet the needs of foster children in Utah. Below is described six general attributes of UFCF. They include their mission and goals, history, organizational structure, program relationships, budget, and challenges.
==Mission and Goals==
The mission of the Utah Foster Care Foundation is three-fold. As specified in their recruitment efforts, “Our mission is to serve Utah’s children by finding, educating and nurturing families to meet the needs of children in foster care.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.utahfostercare.org/about-us/history/ )〕 In general, UFCF’s company goal is to provide children with quality homes in areas where they are most needed. They do this through a highly selective process in which they carefully screen potential foster parents, provide extensive training, and maintain continued support for providers as they care for these children. During this process, their objective is to identify providers that are willing to help families reunite when possible and adopt children when such a reunion is not achievable.
Specific goals are provided through a contractual agreement with the Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS), a state agency related to Health and Human Services. In addition to their contracted goal, they also seek to promote privately raised donations. This extra funding provides a support system that includes support groups, camps, winter retreats, appreciation events, and their wishing well program〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.utahfostercare.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/annual-report-FY2011.pdf )〕 (e.g., provides gifts like a baseball glove or dance lesson that providers can’t afford independently).
