Gift of Adoption: Birth Siblings

Submitted by FBB on Mon, 08/09/2010 - 10:02
Gift of Adoption, our Child Welfare beneficiary for the third quarter, shares this update about how some of their funds work to keep biological siblings together:
 
One of the funding priorities of Gift of Adoption is to unite biological siblings in the same home or prevent them from being separated. Last year, 15% of Gift of Adoption grants helped keep or unite biological siblings together in one caring and loving home. Adoptive Families magazine has a great article this month that speaks to the importance of birth siblings growing up together. Read the article here and then read about a recent Gift of Adoption grant that helped unite Chloe with her brothers Chance and Chase. 
 
We look forward to sharing photos and updates about Chloe's reunion with Chance and Chase with you soon.

Charity Report: The Center for Victims of Torture

Submitted by FBB on Wed, 08/04/2010 - 03:00

The Center for Victims of TortureSecond-quarter beneficiary The Center for Victims of Torture gave us this report on how they're using the funds they received from Foundation Beyond Belief. Foundation members donated $2,310 to The Center for Victims of Torture last quarter.

The Center for Victims of Torture will use the funds from Foundation Beyond Belief’s generous donors to continue to work on four main areas.

First, we help people heal from the deep wounds of torture. We will continue our work in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Jordan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. In 2009, we served more than 2,500 torture survivors worldwide.

Second, we strengthen our torture treatment center colleagues in the U.S. and abroad. We organize technical assistance and training to 38 groups in the U.S. and 15 in other countries.

Third, we work to create new resources to support the healing of torture survivors. Because of our work, the U.S. is the largest international donor to torture survivor centers. At $25 million annually, it’s not nearly enough, but it’s helping tens of thousands of torture survivors get the care they so desperately need.
