We prioritize a private, respectful grantmaking culture. Applications for adoption grants are reviewed by an anonymous team of primarily adoptive and foster parents. This committee meets quarterly to review applications, make grant award decisions, and pray for the families we serve. Review team members approach this work with humility and a deep commitment to the privacy of application materials.
