AdoptTogether is a non-profit, crowdfunding platform that bridges the gap between families who want to adopt and the children who need loving homes. We turn crowds into communities to help bring children home to their families.
1.) Donors are much more comfortable giving and much more generous when they can send money to an IRS approved 501c3 organization.
2.) Donors are much more comfortable giving and much more generous when they know that the money distributed through AdoptTogether grants are used solely for adoption related expenses.
3.) Donors that have access to Corporate Matching Gift programs can have their donation matched since we are an IRS approved 501c3 organization. To date, we have had hundreds of donations matched through Corporate Matching Gift programs.

Log in to your profile, and click on the button Request a Grant on the top right corner. Fill in all fields and upload your supporting documentation that substantiates your adoption expense(s).
When applying for an individual grant from AdoptTogether, you must attach invoices and/or receipts to substantiate your incurred adoption expense. The key here is to provide evidence of adoption expenses to support the grant request. When requesting a grant to be paid directly to an adoption agency, no additional documentation is required. You can upload supporting document(s) when you submit for a grant request.
Once you have submitted your profile, you will see the grant request and submitted status on the Grants section of your profile dashboard. You will also receive an email confirmation once your grant request has been submitted. We will contact you once we’ve heard back from the Hoping Hearts Foundation Board’s monthly review.
Grant requests are reviewed by the Hoping Hearts Foundation board every 30 days and approved grants are processed the following week. Please allow up to 30 day to receive your funds.
As soon as you complete setting up your fundraising profile, you can begin fundraising!
AdoptTogether is free for everyone to use thanks to the generosity of THE FAMILY.
A 5% transaction cost is deducted from all donations.
Unlike other platforms, donations made through AdoptTogether are fully tax deductible for individuals or corporate partners in the US. As an approved 501c3, extra scrutiny is placed on our organization to distribute funds transparently, while providing you the added tax benefits for your donation.
Research shows that donors give more when they can receive a tax deduction for their donation. Additionally, donors give more frequently when there is a process that accompanies the funding, such as our grant request process.
