FOUNDATION SOURCE AND FS CHARITABLE FUND PARTNER WITH THE SAFETY NAVIGATOR TO STRENGTHEN CAMP SAFETY NATIONWIDE

Established following Central Texas floods, FS Charitable Fund's first sponsored project helps children's camps implement stronger safety practices

FAIRFIELD, Conn., March 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- FS Charitable Fund (FSCF), an IRS-approved 501(c)(3) public charity established by Foundation Source to provide fiscal sponsorship services, has partnered with The Safety Navigator, FSCF's first fiscally sponsored project. Foundation Source is the leading provider of philanthropic solutions for donors, nonprofits, institutions, and the wealth advisors who serve them. Through this partnership, The Safety Navigator gains access to a fundraising compliance framework while retaining operational independence.

Established in response to the devastating floods that swept through Central Texas in July 2025, The Safety Navigator helps children's camps strengthen safety protocols and implement newly enacted standards. The initiative equips camp leaders and staff with practical tools, training, and guidance designed to keep kids safe without diminishing the joy and magic of camp.

In the months that followed the floods, a coalition of parents of the 27 campers whose lives were tragically cut short worked closely with lawmakers to draft and champion new legislation designed at strengthening camp safety requirements and preventing similar tragedies. As camps navigate seasonal staffing constraints, tight budgets, and competing operational demands, many need support to effectively operationalize these new standards.

"The Safety Navigator was created to help camps put strengthened safety standards into practice," said Charlee Johnson, co-founder of The Safety Navigator. "Our partnership with FS Charitable Fund expands our ability to equip camp leaders with clear, actionable guidance to protect every child, while preserving what makes camp such a formative experience."

The partnership provides The Safety Navigator with the ability to rapidly and easily fundraise under FSCF's fiscal sponsorship program. FSCF receives charitable gifts into a restricted fund, makes grants to support the project's charitable activities, and oversees reporting on the use of funds.

Launched in October 2025, FSCF expands access to charitable giving through a pre-approved grant relationship which provides access to tax-deductible donations, while enabling the project to retain operational independence. The initiative underscores Foundation Source's continued expansion of its technology-enabled philanthropic platform and commitment to supporting a wide range of charitable vehicles and evolving donor needs.

"The Safety Navigator reflects exactly the kind of mission-driven, impact-focused work that FS Charitable Fund was designed to support," said Jeffrey D. Haskell, Chief Legal Officer at Foundation Source. "Through FSCF's fiscal sponsorship model, initiatives like The Safety Navigator can access tax-deductible donations while remaining focused on advancing their mission."
