Overview
Children's Home Society & Lutheran Social Service (CHLSS, Minnesota) runs the Adoption Support Fund, an in-house grant program that awards grants covering all or part of adoption and post-adoption service fees. Grants range from $20 to $10,000; smaller grants help relative-adoption families cover expenses not covered by state contracts (background checks, transportation, bedroom set-up), and post-adoption grants can cover the full cost of services such as search and reunion.
How to Apply
Grants are available only to individuals/families using the services of Children's Home. Priority is given to families adopting relatives, sibling groups, school-age children, and children with identified needs. Applicants request an Adoption Support Fund application by contacting CHLSS.
