Kids in Need of Defense (KIND) is the leading international nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting unaccompanied and separated children on the move. We envision a world where every child migrating alone has access to legal representation and where their rights, safety, and well-being are fully protected. Founded in 2008 by Microsoft Corporation and Co-Founder and Patron Angelina Jolie, KIND was created to close the justice gap for unaccompanied children in need of legal support. Today, KIND operates across the United States, Mexico, Central America and Europe, supported by a global network of pro bono partners, law firms, and NGOs. Together, we provide children with comprehensive, child-centered care, including legal assistance and representation, and psychosocial support.

Baby2Baby provides children in need with diapers, clothing and all the basic necessities that every child deserves. Over the past 15 years, Baby2Baby has distributed over half a billion essential items—more than any organization of our kind—to children in homeless shelters, domestic violence programs, foster care, hospitals and underserved schools, as well as children across the country who have lost everything in the wake of disasters.

The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption is a national, nonprofit public charity dedicated to dramatically increasing the number of adoptions of children waiting in North America's foster care systems. Created by Wendy’s® founder Dave Thomas, who was adopted, the Foundation implements evidence-based, results-driven national service programs and builds awareness around the growing need and importance of foster care adoption in various ways. We also develop resources for employers and families to support the adoption journey. Through our signature program, Wendy’s Wonderful Kids, the Foundation provides grants to adoption agencies to hire and train recruiters in our child-focused recruitment model to find loving, permanent homes for children in foster care. This model is up to three times more effective at serving children who have been in foster care the longest, including older youth, siblings and children with special needs. The Foundation offers a free library of resources to help families navigate the adoption journey, such as Finding Forever Families: A Step-by-Step Guide to Adoption and Strengthen Your Forever Family: A Step-by-Step Guide to Post-Adoption. The Foundation also works to build awareness around the growing need and importance of adoption from foster care through public service announcements, social media campaigns, articles, events, sponsorships and more.
