All donations go to provide and support our one-to-one mentoring program for DC area foster youth. Below are a few examples of how your donation is used to support various components of our mentoring program, however, gifts of any amount you are able to give are greatly appreciated. Donations to BEST Kids, Inc. are fully-tax deductible as allowed by federal law.

Program Supplies
​We strive to expose our youth to art, sports, music and more to create positive outlets and forge new interests and talents. We need to purchase the supplies used in engaging our mentees in these types of activities during Peer Groups and beyond.

$200

each month, per group
Peer Group Activities
Our staff carefully plans each monthly Peer Group to be educational, fun, and to expose our youth to new activities and opportunities. Each month your donations help to cover the costs of facilitating these group activities for each of our three Peer Groups. 

$300

each month, per youth
One-on-One Mentoring
Because of the extraordinary level of care we take in recruiting and screening our mentors, as well as providing them with a high level of support and training, it costs up to $3,600 per youth annually to provide them with a caring and consistent adult mentor.
