Your Georgia tax dollars are already going somewhere. What if they could help a young person build a future?

Through the Georgia Fostering Success Tax Credit, eligible taxpayers can receive a dollar-for-dollar state income tax credit while supporting programs that help young people transitioning out of foster care.

Put your tax dollars to work right here in our community. Learn more and get started at https://advochild.org/fostering-success-tax-credit/ .

Why wouldn’t you do this?

The Fostering Success Tax Credit makes supporting Advocates for Children surprisingly simple. Apply, make your donation, keep your documentation, and receive a credit toward your Georgia state tax liability.

A simple process with the power to make a meaningful difference for foster youth.

Grief can look different for every child, and having the right support can make all the difference.

Rainbows is one of the many ways Advocates for Children walks alongside children and families during difficult seasons, helping them know they don’t have to navigate them alone.

Learn more about the Rainbows program and the support available through Advocates for Children on our website. https://advochild.org/rainbows/

Turning 18 shouldn’t mean facing the future alone.

Advocates for Children helps bridge the gap for young people transitioning into adulthood, providing support as they build life skills, find stability, and take their next steps forward.

Because support shouldn’t stop at 18.

Meet our 2026 Graze & Raise honorees, Rob and Marion Hankinson!

For nearly 20 years, Rob and Marion have stood beside Advocates for Children as donors, ambassadors, and dedicated supporters of our mission. Their generosity, both personally and through their family business, Heatco, has helped create lasting support for children, young adults, and families across our community.

Their heart for giving has also become a family legacy, one their sons, Steve and Phil, continue through Heatco today.

We are incredibly grateful to honor Rob and Marion as Builders of Hope at this year’s Graze & Raise!
