About Gift of Adoption Massachusetts

You don’t have to adopt to give a child a family.  Gift of Adoption awards adoption grants to complete adoptions of children in vulnerable circumstances – giving them permanent families and the chance to thrive.

Each year, Gift of Adoption receives requests from approximately 13 qualified families in Massachusetts — representing a funding need of $83,200. The goal of the Massachusetts Chapter’s all-volunteer board is to raise enough funds to help complete adoptions for every qualified application. 100% of gifts to the Massachusetts Chapter fund adoption grants, uniting children with permanent, loving families.

Nationwide, Gift of Adoption is only able to fund 2 out of 3 qualified applicants putting adoption out of reach for many families who otherwise would adopt.  Gifts of any amount make a tremendous difference in our ability to remove the financial barrier to adoption and there are many ways to give including online, stock, IRA and Donor Advised Funds, give or learn more.

As of December 31, 2025, Gift of Adoption has awarded $324,226 in adoption assistance grants across Massachusetts to complete the adoptions of 80 children. Download PDF Fact Sheet
