Why Fostering Great Ideas®

Fostering Great Ideas (FGI) is headquartered here in South Carolina and exists to restore dignity and increase stability for children and families impacted by foster care. Many members of FGI's team have lived experience — they grew up in foster care or served as foster parents — and they carry that understanding into their daily work.

What Your Purchase Helps Fund

Keeping Siblings Connected

FGI's Sib-Link® program makes it possible for brothers and sisters separated in foster care to regularly spend time together — in person and virtually — so those lifelong bonds stay strong.

Mentoring and Life Navigation

Through Aspire™ and Life Support®, youth and young adults receive one-on-one mentoring and practical help (from academics to life skills) so they can pursue college, career, and independence with confidence.

Community-Wide Support

FGI provides training and resources that equip caregivers, advocates, and volunteers to better support children in care.

Our Pledge

  • We donate 10% of net jewelry sales to Fostering Great Ideas®, year-round.
  • Local impact: Funds stay focused on supporting youth in South Carolina.
Every purchase helps keep siblings together and surrounds teens aging out of foster care with mentors who show up — and stay.
