Iowa Family Preservation Project

The Iowa Family Preservation Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization led by child welfare survivors, veterans, and military families. Our mission is to reform Iowa’s child welfare system from the inside out, advocating for practices that ensure child safety while keeping families intact.

Our Objectives

• Advocacy for Constitutional Protections: We aim to ensure that the rights of families and children are upheld within the child welfare system.
• Fiscal Accountability: We prioritize transparency and responsible management of resources to create an efficient child welfare system.
• Family-Centered Policy Development: We focus on policies that protect children while minimizing family separation, fostering environments where families can thrive together.

Vision for Expansion

As a national organization, we are working towards establishing the Iowa Family Preservation Project in every state. While we have just begun our efforts in Iowa, our vision is to make a positive impact on child welfare systems across the country, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to grow up in a safe and supportive family environment.
