Welcome to Gift of Adoption Virginia: Adoption Grants
About Gift of Adoption Virginia
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 21 qualified families in Virginia — representing a funding need of $134,400. The goal of the Virginia Chapter’s all-volunteer board is to raise enough funds to help complete adoptions for every qualified application. 100% of gifts to the Virginia 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 $562,203 in adoption assistance grants across Virginia to complete the adoptions of 167 children. Download PDF Fact Sheet
