Summer is finally here!
For some of you, this is your favorite time of the year. For others, the summer is chaotic and stressful. Maybe you’ve got your hands full trying to keep the kids occupied, organizing your summer vacation schedule, or running kids from practice to practice.
However, if you’re adopting, the summer might be the perfect time to finally launch your fundraising and apply for adoption grants.
We think you should apply for June adoption grants before the summer kicks into full gear! We’ve identified 6 and included each of the adoption grants, eligibility criteria, and application deadlines in below to help you fund your adoption.
Don’t forget about the various organizations that accept grant applications on a rolling basis which allows you to apply anytime, typically after your home study has been approved. We recommend that you make adoption grants a priority and an important part of your funding strategy.
Remember to research each grant and review all the application guidelines, take your time to fill out all the information correctly, and put forth a lot of effort to share your adoption story in a creative way that shows off your personality.
