Apply for an Adoption Support Grant

The Children's Home Adoption Support Fund makes grants up to $3,000 to qualified families to help defray part of the upfront cost of an adoption.

Grant Criteria:

  • Priority is given to applicants who are adopting relatives, children with known special needs, large sibling groups and/or school-age children.
  • Applicants are evaluated on financial criteria including need, commitment to funding the adoption, income (gross income of $75,000 or less, with a $7,500 per child in home deduction), expenses, assets and debts.
  • The grant award amount is determined on a case-by-case basis and can range from $70 to $3,000.

You can help a special child join a family by making a tax-deductible contribution to the Children's Home Adoption Support Fund.

At Children's Home, we do everything we can to unite children in need with adoptive families. Families sometimes need financial assistance to complete their adoption plans, especially when adopting a sibling group or a child with special medical needs. Your gift can help!
