Dragon Haven

A foster care home financed by the Children of Cassidy Society. It is home to twenty five orphans and foster care children. Of them only two have no supernatural heritage. Of the rest, the majority are of various therian ancestries, while the rest are of different heritages. The foster care home was only integrated with the American foster care system two years after the Veil fell. Before that it was an orphanage for supernatural denizens only. This home gives the children a chance, as they learn to control their powers and once they grow up they receive either a stipend to strike out on their own or are offered to join the Dragon Loyalists.

Assets, Finances & Donations

The dragon haven is fully dependent on donations collected directly and dispersed by the Society. The funds of the society are the same every year, but adjusted for inflation and increases in cost of living. These funds make up between sixty and seventy percent most years, as donations can vary greatly. Of the direct donations the majority of the funds come from a few large donor, many of whom are successful former wards of the dragon haven. The largest expenses are the salaries of the employees and the monthly payments into the savings accounts of the children. Other expenses come from the maintenance and utilities of the building, operating expenses for the foster care home and the general expenses for the children living there. In most years these expenses leave some money left over to spend on special events and extra training, but the extend of this varies from year to year. Dragon Haven fully owns the building it operates in, which makes it their biggest asset.
