Mission & Focus Areas
The organization states its mission is to provide grants to families adopting older or special-needs orphans. Its website says it prioritizes families with demonstrated adoption-budget shortfalls who are pursuing children who tend to wait to be chosen, including older children, children with special needs, racial minorities in the United States, and sibling groups. It also describes trauma-informed training, church-based support groups, printed resources, and prayer support for families.
The funder’s 2024 grants included adoption-funding awards to adoption and child-welfare organizations. For example, CCAI describes its work as finding permanent homes for orphans through intercountry adoption and providing humanitarian aid and lifelong support to adoptees and families. Global Adoption Services describes itself as a Hague-accredited, Maryland-licensed Christian nonprofit providing pre- and post-adoption services. All God’s Children International describes its work as serving children separated from family and seeking to restore children to family and transform child-welfare systems.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2024, Grafted Families reported 16 grants totaling $190,857. The filing lists grants from $5,500 to $29,050, with a median of $10,250. The organization’s website says its family grants typically range from $2,000 to $8,000, with an average award just above $4,800. These website figures describe its family-grant program; the filing’s itemized amounts are the reported grants.
Among the largest 2024 grants were $29,050 to Lifeline Children’s Services, $20,200 to Holt International, $16,000 to an individual recipient, $14,500 to CCAI, and $13,750 to Global Adoption Services. The filing identifies the purpose of these awards as “Adoption Funding Grant Award.” It also lists awards to All God’s Children International ($12,000), an individual recipient ($11,500), and Advocates for Children & Families ($10,000).
The website says grantmaking begins with a conversation. It prioritizes homestudy-ready, matched families whose adoption plans align with its stated priorities, and says such families are likely to be invited to apply. It typically does not fund contested adoptions and lawsuits, foster-to-adopt journeys, international adoptions from countries that are not party to the Hague Convention, adoptions facilitated by for-profit entities, or ongoing basic needs. The filing says a selection committee reviews each adoption-funding request as a group, considering the circumstances surrounding the request.
