Executive Director: Kris Jacober

AFFCF is a local 501(c)(3) organization that provides children in foster care in Arizona with awards for social, athletic and educational opportunities that are not funded by the standard Department of Child Safety allowances or in any other way. AFFCF qualifies for the Arizona Qualifying Foster Care Charitable Organization tax credit; donations of up to $500 by individuals or $1,000 for married couples may be eligible for a dollar-for-dollar reduction in Arizona income tax liability.

General AwardsContact: Chris LeBlanc, Program Administrator | Tel: 602.252.9445 | Email: [email protected]

For a complete list of what AFFCF can consider funding, please visit: affcf.org/general-awards/general-award-guidelines/

To receive funding, all requests must go through AFFCF’s application process. Anyone can submit an application on behalf of a child in foster care. Visit affcf.org/apply to access the application. The application does ask for the contact information of the child’s DCS or Tribal caseworker, as we must verify the child’s current status as a ward of the court in foster care in Arizona. Applicants must also provide supporting documentation that displays exactly what is being requested and the exact cost of the request. Documentation can be a brochure, a flyer, an email from the provider or a screenshot from a web page.

This is the only CASA Support Council in Gila County. Rim Country Arizonans for Children helps any children in foster care in northern Gila County (i.e., in the Payson area, but not in the Globe area). They coordinate a radio-thon to raise money each year. They bought loaner car seats for CASAs. They can give winter coats, tutoring, bikes, etc. and they seldom turn a request down.

NOTE: Friends of CASA (the former CASA support council in Payson) no longer exists and has turned over its assets to Rim Country Arizonans for Children. The Globe-area CASA support council called “Gila Council for Kids” is also apparently now defunct.
