CAFO FOSTER CARE — MORE THAN ENOUGH More Than Enough brings the CAFO community together to help followers of Christ provide more than enough for children and families before, during, and beyond foster care throughout the U.S. MoreThanEnoughTogether.org is the rallying point for organizations, churches, and advocates from across the country to build local foster care movements in each of the 3,142 counties in the U.S. More Than Enough is working to see 10% of churches in every county actively engaged in foster care ministry by 2025.

MORE THAN ENOUGH ESSENTIALS E-COURSE

THE MORE THAN ENOUGH PODCAST

This interactive e-course experience introduces a small cohort of 15 people over ten weeks to multiple leaders from around the country representing decades of experience.

The More Than Enough Podcast introduces foster care advocates like you to the principles, practices, and people that can help you transform foster care in the community where you live.

NATIONAL CHURCH MINISTRY INITIATIVE The National Church Ministry Initiative exists to inspire, equip and support churches as they work to launch and lead foster care, adoption and orphan care ministries.

Church ministry based resources, webinars, workshops and the recently released book “Everyone Can Do Something” help serve the more than 750 member churches, denominations and church networks around the country.

SERVING YOUR ORGANIZATION Does your organization work directly with churches? Consider how you can both give into and receive from the movement. What resources or best-practices can you offer other organizations in the CAFO community who are working to form strategic relationships with churches? As well, resources and coaching from the National Church Ministry Initiative are available for your team to help you with church engagement, church relations, resourcing, on-boarding and empowering churches into your ministry.

Opportunities both to receive and share information include annual Research and Best Practice Symposia, a certificate course and ebook on Attachment (also available in Spanish), and more. The COVID-19 Child Protection and Family Care Challenge Grants and Learning Cohort provided $8,000-$12,000 to individual organizations as well as expert coaching and a community of practice for those who were mandated to rapidly reintegrate children during the COVID-19 crisis.

CORE ELEMENTS CAFO provides a free, 30-minute online self-assessment survey to any organization caring for vulnerable children in international contexts. It will help you keep your finger on the pulse of your organization’s health, reveal your program’s areas of strength, identify where there’s room to improve, and provide an opportunity to invite others to join your efforts.

This self-assessment (comparable to a retail value of several hundred dollars) is free of charge to members and can be accessed HERE. CAFO member organizations receive exclusive: • Interpretation of your survey results by experienced professionals for each category.

• Record-keeping of your previous self-assessment scores.

• Annual analysis of your growth trends.

• Access to step-by-step training modules that can help your program move from zero understanding to basic implementation in case management, child protection, monitoring & evaluation, and more.

With these tools, you can improve the quality of care you provide, communicate with funders and other key stakeholders, and use scores to track your organization’s health over time. We are all on a journey toward better care for vulnerable children and families, together!
