Mission Statement

An alarming 30,000 children in Nevada cannot live with either of their parents due to a traumatic combination of abuse, neglect, substance use, homelessness, mental illness, or domestic violence. Most of these children live with their grandmother or other relatives in an arrangement known as kinship care. Kinship care is both an intervention and prevention. Caregivers intervene when children cannot live with their parents to ensure they can live with family, which prevents children from entering the foster care system and living with strangers. Foster Kinship was founded in 2011 with a mission to strengthen kinship caregivers' capacity to provide safe, stable, and nurturing homes for these vulnerable children. We are the only organization in Nevada exclusively serving kinship families, and we serve approximately 6,000 children annually. The two foundational beliefs of Foster Kinship are: 1) Children should live with their family when they can't live with their parents; and, 2) All kinship caregivers should have the support, tools, and training to raise healthy children who can break generational cycles of abuse and neglect. Foster Kinship believes that kids deserve family.

CharityAI™ rates charities from 0 to 100 using public filings (IRS Form 990 and the equivalent registries outside the US) together with the information the charity itself provides on DonationX. Ratings are recalculated every quarter, without human bias, and shown as stars.

Four pillars

Financial strength30%

Program expense ratio, fundraising efficiency, operating reserves, liabilities and revenue diversification, compared with similar organizations.

Reliability20%

Standing with the registry, filing history, verification and how complete the profile is.

Effectiveness25%

How much goes to programs and how consistently the organization delivers them.

Impact25%

The outcomes the charity reports on DonationX: people served, cost per service and results.

Stars

★★★★★ 80–100 ★★★★☆ 60–79 ★★★☆☆ 40–59 ★★☆☆☆ 20–39 ★☆☆☆☆ 1–19

A pillar with no data counts as zero. Without impact metrics the score is capped at 59 (three stars): only the charity can supply that data.
The coverage grade (A to D) says how much filing data the score rests on; NONE means there is not enough to rate.
An organization that is not in good standing with its registry (for example a revoked tax exemption) is shown as Not rated.
"Compared with peers" places the charity's key ratios against organizations of the same country, sector and size.
