Freda Fund, established in 2017, is a charitable organization dedicated to providing opportunities and support to youth between the ages of 14 and 21 in the foster care system throughout the Sacramento Region. Inspired by the memory of Freda Needelman, the organization aims to celebrate life's milestones and instill essential life skills and values in foster youth. On their birthdays, Freda Fund treats groups of foster youth to a special dinner, a birthday cake, and a gift card.

In return, each recipient is encouraged to write a handwritten thank-you note and perform a volunteer act, fostering gratitude, thankfulness, and community engagement. The organization also aspires to reach 120 foster youth annually, teach the importance of gratitude and giving back, and contribute to improved self-esteem and well-being. Freda Fund's work is made possible through the support of their partners, friends, and dedicated team members.
