Funding

The majority of the operating costs are met through State Foster Care Rates. This is augmented by annual contracts with Sacramento County Children's Protective Services and Department of Mental Health. In addition, some funding is received from the State of California for nutritional needs and for the required physical examinations for school aged children.

As a charitable non-profit agency, the Children's Receiving Home receives community support through tax deductible contributions and donations. This figure amounts for approximately 15% of our annual operating expenses.
