Everyone has something to give. Everyone has something to receive.

CAFO FOSTER CARE — MORE THAN ENOUGH More Than Enough is a community united by our faith and committed to helping churches care for children and families in foster care. Together, we are determined to achieve our shared vision of more than enough for children and families before, during, and beyond foster care in every US county. We have a shared strategy to provide more than enough loving homes for every child in foster care—including foster, adoptive, and supported biological families. Drawing on tools and practices that are serving children and families well across the US, we meet the specific needs within our communities. We believe that local networks of passionate churches, organizations, and advocates working together can fill the biggest gaps in caring for children and families in every one of the 3,142 counties in the US.

MORE THAN ENOUGH ESSENTIALS E-COURSE

THE MORE THAN ENOUGH PODCAST

This interactive e-course experience introduces a small cohort of 15 people over ten weeks to multiple leaders from around the country representing decades of experience. Their practical insights, along with the principles and practices found in the book, Until There’s More Than Enough, will help you rally likeminded organizations and churches to serve kids and families in foster care together in your community.

The More Than Enough Podcast connects you to people, ideas, and tools that will help you and your community work together to move from not enough to more than enough for children and families where you live.

NATIONAL CHURCH MINISTRY INITIATIVE The National Church Ministry Initiative exists to inspire, equip and support churches as they work to launch and lead foster care, adoption and orphan care ministries. Church ministry based resources, webinars, workshops and the recently released book “Everyone Can Do Something” help serve the more than 750 member churches, denominations and church networks around the country.

SERVING YOUR ORGANIZATION Does your organization work directly with churches? Consider how you can both give into and receive from the movement. What resources or best-practices can you offer other organizations in the CAFO community who are working to form strategic relationships with churches? As well, resources and coaching from the National Church Ministry Initiative are available for your team to help you with church engagement, church relations, resourcing, on-boarding and empowering churches into your ministry. 6

CHURCH MINISTRY ESSENTIALS COURSE: BUILDING AN EVERYONE CAN DO SOMETHING CULTURE IN YOUR CHURCH Engage in the new one-of-a-kind online course for pastors, church staff, ministry leaders, advocates and organizational leaders designed to help you launch and lead ministries in your church, or churches you work with. You’ll walk away with greater insight on best practices and a strategic plan to help you take your next best steps forward. Network and organizational leaders can become certified to utilize the course material in their own communities with their local church partners.

RESEARCH CENTER The Center on Applied Research for Vulnerable Children and Families exists to equip faith-based organizations around the world with the knowledge and practice they need to see vulnerable children and families thrive. Opportunities both to receive and share information include annual Research and Best Practice Symposia, a certificate course and ebook on Attachment (also available in Spanish), and more. The COVID-19 Child Protection and Family Care Challenge Grants and Learning Cohort provided $8,000-$12,000 to individual organizations as well as expert coaching and a community of practice for those who were mandated to rapidly reintegrate children during the COVID-19 crisis.

CORE ELEMENTS CAFO provides a free, 30-minute online self-assessment survey to any organization caring for vulnerable children in international contexts. It will help you keep your finger on the pulse of your organization’s health, reveal your program’s areas of strength, identify where there’s room to improve, and provide an opportunity to invite others to join your efforts. This self-assessment (comparable to a retail value of several hundred dollars) is free of charge to members and can be accessed HERE. CAFO member organizations receive exclusive: • Interpretation of your survey results by experienced professionals for each category. • Record-keeping of your previous self-assessment scores. • Annual analysis of your growth trends. • Access to step-by-step training modules that can help your program move from zero understanding to basic implementation in case management, child protection, monitoring & evaluation, and more. With these tools, you can improve the quality of care you provide, communicate with funders and other key stakeholders, and use scores to track your organization’s health over time. We are all on a journey toward better care for vulnerable children and families, together!

DEVELOPMENT & DISCIPLESHIP

The Development & Discipleship initiative is a partnership between CAFO and Mission Increase (MI) designed to help child-serving ministries grasp and apply a vision for development that not only seeks to raise funds, but also builds up Christian givers as disciples of Jesus.. We provide teaching, coaching and consulting to CAFO members in effective, biblically-based fundraising principles and practices. Members who engage with the Development & Discipleship initiative will grow in their fundraising understanding and effectiveness, experience more joy in their calling and raise more funds as they learn to catalyze well-informed, effective, and Christ-hearted giving.

WORKSHOPS

COACHING

Workshops, webinars, and CAFO Summit sessions grounded in a practical, biblicallybased fundraising curriculum cover topics such as acquisition, major gifts, monthly giving, communications, fundraising leadership, and more.

VIBRANT LEADERSHIP SPRING FROM HEALTHY SOULS Jesus put it simply: good trees bear good fruit. The fruitfulness of your ministry hinges on nothing more than the health of you and your team. That’s why CAFO puts a premium on helping leaders “grow down,” developing practices that build deep health in body, mind, spirit and relationships.

SOUL & STRATEGY RETREAT Join CAFO leaders and teams throughout this year for special events focused on soul care and thriving teams. The Soul & Strategy Retreat in the spring provides space for CEOs & leadership staff to experience refreshment and creativity with fellow leaders.
