Friends of the Chapter recognize that uniting children with their permanent, loving families is a constant and urgent need. Become a Friend of the Chapter by making a 3-year pledge to underwrite the average cost of one adoption grant provided by Gift of Adoption, which is currently $5,000. As a result of the generous support of our Investor Board members, 100% of your gift will fund adoption grants in the state of your choice.
2025 Matching Opportunity!
A generous donor will match the first 16 Friend enrollments in 2025! With this offer, you may join the Friend program at a reduced commitment of $3,750 total, approximately $105/month for three years and with the donor match you will still underwrite fully the cost of one adoption grant. Take advantage of this limited time opportunity!
In gratitude, Gift of Adoption provides:
- quarterly communication on the impact of the gift
- recognition on the GOA website and in the annual report
- a unique grant family story in your area, matched to your gift, upon completion of the three-year pledge.
- the opportunity to fill a ‘welcome home’ tote to share with well wishes for with the grant family served.
Join today by starting your pledge online!
