Support and Accreditations
About 50% of the funding comes from contracts with the cities, counties, and the state or federal government. The other half comes from donations and fundraising campaigns. Another source of support is the auxiliaries ran primarily by adoptive parents or any one who wants to support the organization. One source of funding are social groups that work as small scale groups and try to do their own fund raising in neighborhoods. The organization is part of many health care and social services associations like:
- The Council on Accreditation for Children and Family Services, Inc.
- Foster Family Care Network.
- Child Welfare League of America.
- Association of Fundraising Professionals.
- United Way of the Columbia-Willamette.
- National Association of Social Workers.

Famous quotes containing the word support:
“They [women] can use their abilities to support each other, even as they develop more effective and appropriate ways of dealing with power.... Women do not need to diminish other women ... [they] need the power to advance their own development, but they do not “need” the power to limit the development of others.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
