A SMALL STEP FOR US
Below is a list of some sample activities (and estimated costs) we fund. But this list is not exhaustive. If you have ideas for a different sort of gift or project, please contact us. We'd love to discuss it.
Exiliant’s current focus is serving foster children in the Harnett and Wake counties of North Carolina. Further expansion would require substantially increased funding.
While some partners match their giving to specific activities listed below, please note that giving to Exiliant's general fund is the most effective way to partner with Exiliant.

Please know that — when possible — Exiliant matches a giving partner's interest with children's interests. However, in the case that an activity's participation goal is met, Exiliant reserves the right to shift funds to a different activity or to the general fund. Thank you for your generosity and understanding.
“Listen to the mustn’ts, child. Listen to the don’ts. Listen to the shouldn’ts, the impossibles, the won’ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me… Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.” - Shel Silverstein
Footnotes from list above:
-
This is the estimated cost for one child to register to play in a league for a season, though costs vary per sport. The cost of any required equipment would be extra.
-
The estimated bicycle cost reflects a purchase for a relatively basic children's bike. Nicer bikes or bikes for older children would be more expensive.
-
The Zoo membership cost is estimated per family. Where it says 5 children or 10 children in the header columns, here that means 5 or 10 families.
-
The personalized party estimate includes a personalized cake, party decorations, face painting, balloons, and other party items, but not gifts.
