About FAMILIES OF SLAIN CHILDREN INC

Founded in 2006, Families of Slain Children, Inc. (FOSCI) is a Jacksonville, Florida–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides grief counseling, victim advocacy, group support, home visitations, and material aid (food, clothing, hygiene items) to families affected by homicide and violent crime. FOSCI operates programmatic offerings that have included a Family Stability program and a College & Career program for youth, as well as community drives (back-to-school and holiday distribution events) and a memorial wall honoring victims. The organization has maintained an active web presence and tax filings and is listed in nonprofit databases and donor‑facing charity platforms. In 2024 FOSCI’s city-funded programs were administratively reviewed by Jacksonville’s Office of Inspector General; the OIG report identified contract compliance and hiring/background-screening issues and included corrective recommendations. The organization continues to operate programming while implementing recommended compliance steps.
