Fostering Fairness was launched in 2020 by the Children's Advocacy Institute, thanks to support from the Voices for Economic Opportunity Grand Challenge. Launched in 2019, the Grand Challenge seeks to address the persistent toxic narratives about poverty in the U.S. by elevating diverse voices and broadening the national conversation about poverty and economic mobility. Key partners on the challenge include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, James Irvine Foundation, Omidyar Network, Raikes Foundation, Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation, and the Schultz Family Foundation. As a Grand Challenge grantee, this project also received support from the Voices for Economic Opportunity Incubator, a new model for narrative change and social impact built and led by Purpose.
Additional funding for Fostering Fairness was provided through support from the May and Stanley Smith Charitable Trust.

Fostering Fairness believes that we can make the foster care system more equitable for the youth and young adults who depend on it through an educational effort created and led by foster youth telling their stories to inspire other young people to take action.
