Simply create a family profile with your adoption story, family photo, and fundraising goal. Once your profile is complete, you can begin fundraising for your adoption expenses.
To receive funds, simply fill out a grant request with the supporting documentation that shows the adoption related expense(s). The Board reviews grant requests on a monthly basis and awards grants via check to adopting families based on adoption status, actual adoption expenses, donor designated contributions and AdoptTogether's financial status.
Grant requests are reviewed by AdoptTogether board every 30 days and approved grants are processed the following week.
No. AdoptTogether does not allow donations to your own profile.
As long as there is a need to raise adoption expenses. we encourage families to continue updating their profile with videos, blogs, etc. Fundraising may continue even after you've brought your child home!
You can use the same profile for future adoptions if you wish, but we are not able to reset the donation total, so it may be better to create a new profile. Contact support if you need help creating a second profile.
