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] hired a large house as a receptacle for gentlewomen, who either had no fortunes, or so little that it would not support them. For these they made the most comfortable institution [and] provided [them] with all conveniences for rural amusements, a library, musical instruments, and implements for various works.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
