Fostering Success for Georgia’s Foster Care Youth
Kevin Greiner, CEO of Gas South, shares his commitment to the Fostering Success Act (FSA) and its mission to transform the lives of Georgia’s foster youth. Kevin discusses how businesses and individuals can redirect their state tax dollars to provide critical resources like housing, education, and job training for the nearly 700 youth who age out of Georgia’s foster care system each year. Highlighting the life-changing impact of FSA, Kevin explains why supporting this initiative is not only a smart choice for taxpayers but a powerful way to create brighter futures for these young people.

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.
As 2024 comes to a close, it’s incredible to reflect on all that has been accomplished for Georgia’s youth aging out of foster care, thanks to your support. For these young people, stepping into adulthood without a safety net can be daunting, but because of you, this year has been a transformative one.
THANK YOU!
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.
