safe, loved, and supported.
Every year, many Muslim children enter foster care, facing the loss of stability, identity, and connection to their faith and community.
FATE exists to ensure they are not alone. Through advocacy, training, and education, we mobilize communities and partner with child welfare agencies to support the unique cultural and faith-based needs of Muslim children in the U.S. foster care system.

FATE Volunteers
Offer your time and skills for program support, organizing the Foster Closet, event planning, or using professional skills like graphic design.
Support Families in Crisis
Your Sadaqah or Zakat helps revive the Sunnah of caring for vulnerable children by strengthening families, supporting reunification, and providing essential resources.
