Fostering families and fostering change since 1966. Casey Family
Programs’ mission is to provide and improve—and ultimately to
prevent the need for—foster care.
Established by United Parcel Service founder Jim Casey, we
are a Seattle-based national operating foundation that has served
children, youth, and families in the child welfare system since
1966.
We operate in two ways. We provide direct services, and we
promote advances in child-welfare practice and policy. We collaborate
with foster, kinship, and adoptive parents to provide safe,
loving homes for youth in our direct care. We also collaborate
with counties, states, and American Indian and Alaska Native
tribes to improve services and outcomes for the more than 500,000
young people in out-of-home care across the U.S.
Drawing on four decades of front-line work with families and
alumni of foster care, we develop tools, practices, and policies
to nurture all youth in care and to help parents strengthen
families at risk of needing foster care.
