Building Families for Children is a Maryland-based nonprofit in the Individual and Family Services sector that focuses on keeping children connected to safe, nurturing families. Rooted in the belief that children thrive best when cared for in family settings, the organization provides trauma-informed, evidence-based services through two main programs: Family Preservation and Treatment Foster Care. Its Family Preservation services aim to strengthen and stabilize families to prevent entry into foster care, while its Treatment Foster Care program places children who have been removed from their homes with trained foster families to support healing and growth. Based in Columbia, Maryland, the organization has a history dating back to 1920 and concentrates on serving Maryland’s vulnerable children and their families by delivering supportive services designed to help them thrive in community and life.
