Welcome to Gift of Adoption Metro DC: Adoption Grants
About Gift of Adoption Metro DC
You don’t have to adopt to give a child a family. Gift of Adoption awards adoption grants to complete adoptions of children in vulnerable circumstances – giving them permanent families and the chance to thrive.
Metro DC presents a unique opportunity for Gift of Adoption. Board members from the Metro DC Chapter are Gift of Adoption’s “feet on the ground”, building relationships with key organizations to help Gift of Adoption further our mission. These are organizations that can provide research into adoption trends, advocacy for adoption friendly legislation and outreach to those on the frontline of adoption services.
Additionally, Gift of Adoption Metro DC receives adoption funding requests from approximately 3 qualified families annually – representing a funding need of $15,000. The goal of the Metro DC Chapter’s all-volunteer board is to contribute enough funds to help complete each of these adoptions. 100% of the funds contributed by the chapter board is directed to uniting children with forever families in the area.
Nationwide, Gift of Adoption is only able to fund 2 out of 3 qualified applicants putting adoption out of reach for many families who otherwise would adopt. Gifts of any amount make a tremendous difference in our ability to remove the financial barrier to adoption and there are many ways to give including online, stock, IRA and Donor Advised Funds, give or learn more.
