Resources for Foster Families

DCF foster families care for the approximately 10,000 children who cannot live with their parents. These families open their hearts and homes, taking on all of the joy and challenges accompanying such a commitment. Wonderfund supports DCF foster families in a variety of ways.

Wonderfund Access Card

The Wonderfund Access Card is like a AAA card created just for DCF foster families. Wonderfund partners with incredible organizations across the state to offer discounted or free admission to family-friendly experiences, including museums, theaters, outdoor spaces, and treasured destinations.

Wonderfund Access Card partners welcome DCF foster kids to enjoy enriching adventures, engage in social interaction, and gain confidence and inspiration sparked by new experiences.

Enrichment Opportunities

Camp

Making arts and crafts. Learning how to swim. Playing an epic game of tug-of-war. We know that summer camp is a place where children make meaningful connections that last a lifetime. For foster kids, camp provides a much-needed sense of normalcy.
