It’s time to shake off the dust (and if you’re like us the extra holiday pounds) and get back in gear. The holidays are behind us and you’re refreshed and ready to get back into the fundraising and grant writing mindset. We’ve identified 3 grants with deadlines in January and included each of the adoption grants, eligibility criteria, and deadlines 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. Be sure to research each grant and 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 your personality.
