A waiting child
A loving family
A chance to unite them forever
There are an estimated 140 million orphaned and abandoned children worldwide. The vast majority live without adequate food, water, and shelter. All live without the one thing children need and deserve most to thrive - a family of their own. Through the Gift of Adoption (GOA) Giving Circle program, you have a chance to change that.
You can make the difference for one child and one family
When you form a GOA Giving Circle, you will be linked to a specific family and the child they yearn to love. Your gift to this family is to raise the final funds they need to bring their child home. This is no small deed. Because of your Giving Circle, a forever family will be born. Because of your Giving Circle, the course of one child’s life will be changed permanently for the better. Though you may never meet this family or child in person, you will come to know them deeply in spirit. To be a part of such an incredible journey is a humbling experience.
Make the pledge and form your Giving Circle today
Each Giving Circle leader makes an unwritten pledge to raise enough money to fund one adoption grant within a 3-month period. Currently, the amount of a pledge is $3,500. These grants provide the final funds approved adoptive families need to bring their child home.
Just as every family and child is unique, the same goes for each Giving Circle. It is a reflection of the leader who forms it and the people who make it up.
Previous GOA Giving Circles include
- Church groups
- Elementary school children
- Corporations
- Friends
They have raised their pledges by:
- Email campaigns
- Bake sales
- Dinner parties
- Corporate jeans day coupons
As you give, so you receive
It is a common experience for Giving Circle members to say they got so much more from the experience than they gave. To be a part of a Giving Circle is to help the most vulnerable among us—a child without a parent. It is to know deep in your heart that one less child will go hungry, homeless and parentless... it is to know that one more child will receive the love they deserve. To be a part of a Giving Circle is a life-giving and life-changing opportunity.
You can do it and we are here to help
