Foster Success is proud to announce a new partnership with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield to help educate and empower foster youth as they transition into adulthood. The collaboration launches during National Foster Care Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about the challenges and opportunities faced by young adults with lived experience in foster care. This partnership underscores both organizations’ shared commitment to improving outcomes for these young people.
Anthem’s support will bolster Foster Success’s Opportunity Passport® program, which helps participants build financial literacy, grow their savings, and receive matching funds for essential purchases like a vehicle, housing, or educational expenses. By providing these resources, the program empowers young adults to make confident, informed decisions about their futures.
“This partnership with Anthem is a powerful example of what it looks like when the community comes together to champion the success of young people with lived experience in foster care,” said Foster Success President & CEO Dr. Maggie Stevens. “Anthem’s generous support will help us empower more teens and young adults with the tools they need to thrive during this critical phase of their lives.”
Anthem has a longstanding commitment to the health and well-being of children and young adults in foster care. This new collaboration builds on that legacy and reflects a continued investment in helping vulnerable populations reach their full potential.
“Every young person deserves the chance to build a stable, successful future—especially those who have experienced the foster care system,” said Lynn Scott, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Indiana’s Medicaid President. “Through our partnership with Foster Success, we’re helping older foster youth gain critical life skills, grow their financial independence, and take confident steps into adulthood. This work is about standing with them as they build the foundation for a healthier, more empowered future.”
Foster Success remains the only Indiana-based nonprofit focused exclusively on supporting foster youth as they navigate adulthood. With Anthem’s partnership, the organization will expand its reach and deepen its impact across the state.
