Kids need families
Families need a village
Second Nurture partners with communal institutions to open their doors and hearts to the needs of local foster families, creating a culture of shared responsibility for our most vulnerable kids
Welcome.
Foster families are welcomed, loved, and supported by local synagogues and and other kinds of communities, transforming foster care into a shared responsibility
Are you a foster family?
With Second Nurture you are not alone!
Join monthly gatherings with other foster families, ensconced in a synagogue (or other kind of affinity community) where everyone steps up to welcome you to the monthly gatherings and to meet your on-going needs .
There are lots of support— but the magic is in the love, nurturance and sense of belonging. ❤️
Are you a community leader?
Your community already has what foster families need!
As a 2N Host Community, you will see every generation of your membership together, bringing their talents, skills and capacities to foster families, creating a culture of shared responsibility for kids in the system, and growing deep relationships of shared purpose with local foster families.

What is a donor-advised fund?
A donor-advised fund (DAF) provides donors with a centralized charitable giving vehicle. It allows philanthropically inclined individuals, families, and corporations to make an irrevocable charitable gift to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program and take an immediate tax deduction. Most sponsoring organizations of DAFs accept cash equivalents, securities, and certain other assets.
Advantages of a donor-advised fund?
Simplicity—The DAF sponsor handles all recordkeeping, disbursements, and tax receipts.
Flexibility—Timing of your tax deduction can be separate from your charitable decision making.
Tax efficiency—Contributions are tax-deductible, and any investment growth in the DAF is tax-free. It is also easy to donate long-term appreciated securities, eliminating capital gains taxes and allowing you to support several charities from one block of stock.
Family legacy—A DAF is a powerful way to build or continue a tradition of family philanthropy.
How does it work?
Establish your DAF by making an irrevocable, tax-deductible donation to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program.
Advise the investment allocation of the donated assets (any investment growth is tax-free). Recommend grants to qualified public charities of your choice.
