Dear Friends,

As we reach the halfway mark of Foster Care Awareness Month, we want to thank you. Your generosity and support have already made a powerful impact. But our work isn’t finished, and the opportunity to do more is right in front of us.

This year, we’re celebrating 25 years of First Star’s unwavering commitment to youth in foster care. Since 2000, we’ve walked alongside these remarkable young people, helping them not just survive, but thrive.

Now, we’re excited to share a special opportunity to double your impact. Starting today, May 15, every gift will be matched, dollar for dollar, by our First Star Board of Directors.

That means your $50 becomes $100 – your $143 becomes $286 – all in support of youth in foster care. 

Donate now to expand our reach and ensure more First Star Scholars have the chance to dream bigger, achieve more, and build a future filled with hope.

Be the light that guides a First Star Scholar.
Give today – because thriving futures start with you.

With gratitude,
Peter Samuelson
First Star President and Co-Founder
