Family Advocacy Support Centre (FASC) is a grass roots, Black-led, woman-led, not-for-profit that works with parents and community organization to ensure families in crisis get the resources they need to thrive. We provide legal education, system navigation, and training with the goal of minimizing traumatic intervention and family separation due to child welfare involvement.
Black- led organizations have been historically underfunded. For every $100 the top 15 community foundations disbursed, only 0.07 cents went to Black-led organizations. We also don't have charitable status, and cannot issue tax receipts, which impacts our ability to receive ongoing donations. This Black History Month, we are hoping to get your support as we raise funds to support the work we are doing with families and in the community.
Funds raised will go towards "Black Families and AB child welfare Initiative", general operations, and the important systems change work that we are doing. We would appreciate your support in furthering our work to strengthen communities and keep families together.
Thank you in advance for you support! No amount is too small.
