About Gift of Adoption Michigan

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 Michigan receives adoption funding requests from approximately 21 qualified families – representing a funding need of $105,000. The goal of the Michigan Chapter’s all-volunteer board is to raise enough funds to help complete each of these adoptions. 100% of the money raised by the chapter is directed to uniting children with permanent families in the area.

The chapter is currently seeking leaders throughout Michigan to get involved as chapter leaders and help the chapter grow and reach more families.

Board members are responsible for building awareness and raising funds for this rapidly growing, energetic, national, nonprofit dedicated to putting adoption in reach for the millions of children world-wide without a family.  Gift of Adoption inspires adoption by providing grants to qualified parents – giving children without families permanent homes and the chance to thrive.

Board members can be located anywhere in the state, but must be willing to participate in monthly calls and quarterly in-person meetings to support the development of a strong state presence – as we create awareness of this new philanthropic category and resource our vision.

As of December 31 2024, Gift of Adoption Michigan has awarded $585,000 in adoption assistance grants across Michigan to complete the adoptions of 189 children.
