Every Child Deserves Opportunity

The Sandbothe Foundation exists to help children in foster care experience the ordinary moments of childhood that can mean so much. We provide support for activities, experiences, opportunities, and milestones that help children feel included, confident, and connected.

We believe belonging matters. A child should have the chance to participate, discover what they love, build friendships, and create memories—regardless of their circumstances. Through thoughtful partnerships and direct support, we help make those opportunities possible.

Opportunities to discover, learn and develop new skills.

Childhood Should be More Than Survival

Everyday Childhood Moments Aren't Always Guaranteed

For many children in foster care, participating in the activities and experiences their peers take for granted can be difficult. Fees, equipment, transportation, and other costs can become barriers.

We believe those barriers shouldn't decide which children get to belong.

Help Make Better Childhoods Possible

Every child deserves the chance to participate, belong, discover what they love, and create memories that last.

Your gift helps make those opportunities possible.
