Get Involved

You don’t need a gallery wall to make an impact. From local businesses to large events, the Heart Gallery can go wherever people gather—bringing the faces and stories of children in foster care into the heart of your community.

The exhibit is:

• Incredibly flexible: Display portraits on display stands, tabletops, walls, or digital screens
• Customizable in format and time: Host for a day, a week, or more—indoors or outdoors, physical or virtual
• Fit for any space: We’ve installed exhibits in airports, salons, cafes, restaurants, schools, libraries, festivals, places of worship, doctor’s offices, gyms, government buildings, and corporate headquarters
• A conversation starter: Wherever people are, the Heart Gallery creates meaningful opportunities to learn, reflect, and take action

If your space welcomes people, it can welcome the Heart Gallery. Help us bring visibility to children waiting to be adopted—and maybe help them take one step closer to finding a forever family.

Support our mission by offering a space for:

• Information sessions
• Educational trainings
• Community events or meetings
• Support Groups

Whether it’s at your business, facility, event venue, organization, or place of worship, your space can help bring people together to support children in foster care.

Support children in foster care by offering your space for a Wednesday’s Child segment:

• Provide a filming location that aligns with a child’s interests
• Partner with our team to create a memorable experience
• Highlight your business while supporting a meaningful cause
• Share on social media to raise awareness for children needing adoptive families

Share your time and talents—there’s a way for everyone to support the Heart Gallery:

• Photography for Heart Gallery portraits
• Beauticians and barbers to support “hair days” before photo shoots
• Graphic designers to create brochures, invitations, and other materials
• Event catering for special gatherings
• Transport and setup assistance for portrait exhibits
• Support with special events and fundraising efforts

Give children in foster care the chance to experience connection and adventure.

• Fund a one-week camp designed specifically for kids in foster care
• Support meaningful experiences like outdoor activities, group bonding, and personal growth
• Help create lasting memories in a safe and supportive environment
• Make an impact in the life of a child through your sponsorship

Help create a more informed and supportive community by:

• Understanding the foster care and adoption process

• Helping dispel common myths and misconceptions
• Encouraging others to explore how they can get involved

Provide opportunities for families by hosting:

• Monthly support groups
• Parenting or caregiver classes
• Special-topic workshops (trauma-informed care, attachment, etc.)

Your involvement helps strengthen and equip adoptive and foster families in your community.

• Share Wednesday’s Child and other Heart Gallery social media posts to increase awareness of children waiting for their permanent and loving homes.
• Organize a toy/supply drive and/or fundraiser.
• Throw a carnival/festival for kids in foster care.
