Frequently Asked Questions

Who do we serve?

We serve foster children in North Texas. The counties in this area include: Collin, Cooke, Dallas, Denton, Tarrant county, and Wise counties.
How did GAP become involved with foster children?

GAP'S founder and some Board Directors volunteered with a nonprofit called, Friends of Wednesday's Child (FOWC). Prior to closing their doors in 2017, the orginaztion was highly successful in serving foster children through various projects. Our company's 5013(c) status was formed to fill in the gap for the projects and programs that made a big impact in our community. As volunteers on the frontline, we have witnessed and understand the importance of investing in our future generation of leaders.
Who is eligible to receive the services GAP offers?

The birthday project will be made available to all school age (8 to 19) foster children in Collin, Cooke, Dallas, Denton, Tarrant, and Wise counties. The Foster Child Tutoring Endeavor Program will initially be open to middle school and high school students in Dallas and Tarrant County.
Why don’t you show photos of the actual children you serve?

Due to privacy concerns and state regulations, GAP will never post facial images or videos of the foster children we serve.
