About Gift of Adoption New York

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.

Each year, Gift of Adoption receives requests from approximately 39 qualified families in New York and the surrounding Metro area — representing a funding need of $249,600. The goal of the New York Chapter’s all-volunteer board is to raise enough funds to help complete adoptions for every qualified application. 100% of gifts to the New York Chapter fund adoption grants, uniting children with permanent, loving families.

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.

As of December 31, 2025, Gift of Adoption has awarded $695,567 in adoption assistance grants across the New York Metro area to complete the adoptions of 191 children. Download PDF Fact Sheet
