Common Barriers to
Starting an Adoption Fund
Your “plate” is too full.
As a partner, we’ll manage and facilitate your fund using mutually-agreed-upon criteria for applications, accounting, receipts, disbursement, etc.
You feel uncomfortable approving or denying families you know.
We’ll provide all the screening, reviewing, approving, and denying on your behalf.
You’re unfamiliar with the legalities of hosting an adoption fund.
As specialists, we use existing grant/loan procedures that are IRS- and ECFA-approved to maximize stewardship resources and keep your best interest in mind.

How We Help
When you start an adoption fund you have access to these tools and resources
We’ll help guide you through the fundraising process, keeping it simple so you can focus on helping your families.
Matching Grant
We’ll award dollar-for-dollar matching grants which act as a catalyst in raising further funds for homestudy-ready families. As donations come in for specific families, matching grant money becomes available.
Interest-Free Loans
We’ll offer interest-free loans through covenant agreements where adopting families repay the loan through manageable monthly or annual payments.
Crowdfunding Pages
We’ll provide mySTORY access—a free online giving platform exclusively for approved families. Donations tie directly into a specific family’s Lifesong Family Fund Account and make it easy for families to share their story publicly.
Fundraising Support
We’ll equip your approved families with an adoption fundraising kit, and allow their friends and family to receive tax deductions for donations.
Post-Adoption Support
We’ll provide your adopting families with encouragement and support on their adoption journey, giving them access to important resources such as conferences, training, and counseling.
