Our Grant Discernment Committee reads and sits with every single application we receive. We carefully consider if your adoption story fits within our mission and vision:

To fund adoption stories that influence OTHERS to act on behalf of the orphan and create a ripple effect of care.

Your story and its potential impact are our greatest determiners, followed closely by urgency and financial need.

We see a massive gap in the resources provided in the adoption world, along with seeing the adoptee's voice muffled. This leads to adoptees, birth, and adoptive families that can’t heal or flourish. Pre adoption education and post adoption care are so important! We work hard to stay up to date and provide resources that we’ve vetted and/or that were recommended by adoptees. Please reach out if you’re stuck in this area, we’d love to help you take a step forward.

Yes, yes, 1000% yes. Keeping families together is the best-case scenario. We have a passion for working with families pursuing family preservation (when safe!) and open adoptions. We advocate for the adoptee voice and we’ve heard time and time again how important having ties to their bio family and culture, along with retaining that connection, is.
