About For Others Collective
For Others Collective Inc. centers its grantmaking on ending the child welfare crisis in America, with a structure built around family preservation, foster family recruitment and retention, and community capacity building. The foundation works as a strategic philanthropic partner to state governments through its Well-Being Support Ecosystem™, coordinating local nonprofits, service providers, and community stakeholders around those goals. Recent grants show a strong preference for large commitments and repeat relationships. One of the clearest examples is Connections Home, which received multiple awards across 2023, 2024, and 2025, including a seven-figure grant in 2024. The Global Orphan Project also appears repeatedly in the recent grants list, alongside other recurring partners such as Lifeline Children’s Services, Chosen Care, and Timothy Hill Children’s Ranch Inc. The foundation’s portfolio includes organizations serving children in foster care, vulnerable children, and nonprofits working on family reunification and protection. The grant list also shows a mix of direct service organizations and state-connected partners. In Tennessee, the Governor’s Faith-based and Community Initiative received a major grant, while groups in Georgia, Arkansas, Missouri, Texas, New York, Colorado, Florida, Alabama, Kansas, Oregon, and California also appear. This points to a national funder using sizable grants to support coordinated child welfare work across multiple states.
What For Others Collective Funds
Family preservation is a clear thread in the portfolio. For Others Collective Inc gave $998,000 to Connections Home in Lawrenceville, Georgia, and later backed Restore Hope Inc in Little Rock, Arkansas, with $520,500 and $378,227, both tied to growth-oriented support. Foster care recruitment and retention also appear repeatedly. The foundation awarded $287,500 to Lifeline Children’s Services in Birmingham, Alabama, in 2024 and followed with $150,000 in 2025, while Chosen Care in New Braunfels, Texas, received $311,181 in 2025 after prior grants of $250,000 and $225,000. Community-based child welfare work shows up in other grants as well. The Global Orphan Project in Kansas City, Missouri, received $956,181 in 2025 after earlier awards of $500,000 and $237,947, and Promise686 Inc in Peachtree Corners, Georgia, received $175,000 in 2023.
