Fostering Success for Georgia’s Foster Care Youth
Fostering Thanksgiving
On November 20, 2025, dozens of former foster youth came together with mentors, volunteers, and supporters for the first-ever Fostering Thanksgiving, an evening of connection, encouragement, and gratitude.
Hosted by Fostering Success Act, Inc. at the Jackson Healthcare campus, this special night celebrated the progress of youth now pursuing college, apprenticeships, and brighter futures—all made possible through the Georgia tax credit program.

The Fostering Success Act will generate up to $20 million per year to support unadopted youth making the transition into adulthood to remove barriers in completing their post-secondary education. Funds will be distributed to carefully vetted, accountable organizations directly to young people actively enrolled in Georgia’s public colleges or vocational training programs. And it will cover everything from tuition and books to food, housing, transportation, healthcare, and other basic needs.

A Letter from Our Chairman
When I was 13, I entered our state’s foster care system, where I remained until I aged out when I turned 18.
As a young person, I was blessed to have both known and anonymous individuals like you provide me with support and opportunities at critical times.
Together, let’s make this type of support the norm!
Your support of Fostering Success Act, Inc. will be given back to you in a 100% credit through your Georgia income taxes. More importantly, your funds will directly support the education, training, housing, food, transportation, healthcare, mental health, and other necessary living expenses of our local foster youth.
We will work to ensure your contributions are responsibly distributed and accounted for to ensure maximum, positive impact.
Chairman, Fostering Success Act, Inc.
