About This Cause
About Believe in Me Our Vision At Believe in Me, we see a future where every kid has the self-confidence they need to succeed. Our Mission With your generosity and commitment, we fund children's charities that offer marginalized kids a safe place to call home, a loving family, a sense of community, and ample opportunities to learn, grow self-esteem, and experience joy. Our Values We are Caring: Through our compassionate programs, we aspire to positively influence struggling kids, giving them the hope and inspiration they need for a lifetime. We are Trustworthy: Our dedicated team transparently manages all donations, ensuring that our programs sustainably succeed. We are Innovative: We channel our resources towards progressive programs that address the unique challenges faced by troubled kids, helping them heal and develop self-confidence in groundbreaking ways. What Are Marginalized Kids? Marginalization, or social exclusion, is the phenomenon where certain children are deprived of the resources, rights, goods, and services that most people in our society readily access. This lack of access impedes their participation in regular community activities and relationships. Such childhood experiences can, unfortunately, set a precedent for their adult lives. It's our staunch goal at Believe in Me to bridge this gap for these children. Thanks to the donations of our generous community, we’re able to support programs that assist marginalized children, including but not limited to: Racial and ethnic minorities such as American Indian and Alaska Native, Asian, African American, Hispanic or Latino, Native Hawaiian, and Other Pacific Islanders, as well as Multi-race. Immigrant families. Kids grappling with food insecurity. Adopted kids, those aging out of the Foster Care system, living in Foster Care, or wards of the State. Households experiencing poverty. Kids managing disabilities, mental health issues, substance abuse disorders, or homelessness. Children with incarcerated or unemployed parents, or parents without high school or college education. Kids with different sexual orientations or gender identities. Pregnant teenagers and single-parent households. The list goes on and on. OUR FIVE PILLARS OF CARING: Basic Human Needs: Emotional and behavioral disturbances, coupled with domestic violence and abuse, render some children homeless or orphaned. We believe in transitional living programs that offer safety, support, and resources to these kids, aiming to create a home-like setting and a structured path to recovery. Love & Belonging: Secure attachments to reliable adults are pivotal for a child's well-being. Our focus is on ensuring foster children find stable, loving homes. We proudly champion programs that uplift these children and prepare families for foster care or adoption. Community Support: Community-based services that encompass a child's entire ecosystem — family, school, and community — ensuring they receive the guidance they need. We advocate for a holistic approach that is tailored to each child's unique challenges and ambitions. Education Program: Our foundation actively invests in educational initiatives, recognizing that it is a powerful tool in building a child's self-confidence and equipping them for future success. Enrichment Program: Through art, music, and outdoor activities, we strive to let children explore their innate creativity, encouraging them to dream and discover their full potential. WHAT WE DO: Believe in Me shoulders the responsibility of managing the Foundation's assets, ensuring that the funds effectively support our mission-driven programs. Our diligent Grants Administration Committee convenes throughout the year to refine the granting cycle, evaluate applications, and award deserving nonprofits. This committee is committed to maintaining transparency, frequently reviewing the performance of our programs, and relaying their impact back to our valued donors. Our Views On Diversity & Inclusion Our core mission is centered around cultivating a space that radiates warmth, inclusivity, and friendship, where every individual can confidently explore their potential. We are resolute in our commitment to upholding equal opportunities for all, irrespective of backgrounds or circumstances. Our unwavering dedication extends to the creation of a nurturing community that celebrates individuality, nurturing an environment for not just survival, but for meaningful growth and realization of personal potential.
