What an interesting project. I'd like to read that article. Where will it be available?
1. A Child's Desire collects donations for grants supporting foster parents who adopt "hard-to-place" children.
2. The Orphan Foundation of America has a care package program which accepts monetary donations, as well as handwritten cards and gift cards.
3. The National Voice of Foster Parents accepts donations in support of foster parents.
4. SOS Children's Villages is an international organization that accepts donations and orphan sponsorships.
5. Vmentor is a virtual forum providing mentorship to children aging-out of foster care.
6. Local foster care agencies can also help connect mentors with local foster children.
7. The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption aims to increase adoption rates and provides a list of direct ways to raise awareness, from hosting an adoption event to hanging posters. The site also accepts monetary donations.

In BC
the Ministry of Children and Family Development has a great link list and information concerning becoming a foster parent. The links will take you to organizations supporting the foster parents. Most governments involved should have a similar link lists.

they evaluate and rate over 5,300 very large charities
in America. You can then recommend highly rated charities.
Searches with the following words got the following results:
foster child 34
child adoption 60
At GoodSearch http://www.goodsearch.com
you can find thousands of results - some are organizations but they
are not rated, however you may also find something of value for your
article like the item below

What charities help foster kids? I know some provide birthday presents, etc.
I am trying to finish an article about how to become a foster parent and want to include charities or organizations that people could help if they decide they did not want to be a foster parent.
Anyone know of any? I know I saw some, but I can't find them now.

Check with the Ministry or State agency in your area for information for foster parents on their web sites..they are usually quite stocked with information. In BC
