Join Young Professionals Making Life Changing Impact
GOA Connect provides networking and engagement opportunities for early career professionals, while helping to advance the mission of Gift of Adoption through membership pledges.
Gift of Adoption is a national charity that provides grants of up to $15,000 to complete the adoptions of children in vulnerable circumstances. Priority is placed on helping children for whom reunification is not possible and who are facing what is possibly their last or only chance at adoption, including those at-risk of separation from siblings, entering foster care, aging-out of an orphanage, or with critical special needs.
GOA is the largest provider of adoption assistance grants on a nondiscriminatory basis (without regard to age, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender, or marital status).
