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.

At Kidsave, we are driven by the simple belief that every child, everywhere, deserves to grow up with the support of a loving, caring family. For older kids in foster care, scared of aging out alone, this can sometimes feel like an impossible wish. We’re here to change that. With your support, our innovative programs both here and abroad give older kids in foster care a voice and a choice in who they get to know and who will ultimately become their forever family. And with an estimated 8 million children living in institutional care worldwide and more than 440,000 children in foster care here in the U.S., the need has never been greater. Join us in becoming a champion for older kids in care. Spread the word, lend a hand, become a mentor, a host, or adoptive family and let’s give all kids the chance to thrive in loving, supportive homes.
