We applied for grants with 18 different foundations and received grants from seven of them! <br /><br />These are the foundations that awarded us grants: <br /><br />$5,000 - Never Alone Foundation<br /><br />$500 - Families Outreach<br /><br />$10,000 - Show Hope<br /><br />$2,000 - Sowing Roots<br /><br />$4,000 - Lifesong For Orphans (Matching Grant)<br /><br />$2,000 - Lydia Fund <br /><br />$3,400 Ephesians 3:20 Foundation<br /><br />Note about JSC Foundation: JSC is one of the more popular foundations. However, our experience with JSC Foundation was not a positive one. After more than 50 emails back and forth and about 9 months of needing to “clarify” or repeat information to them in multiple formats, we received our notice of denial. The process was much more complicated with JSC than ANY other foundation that we applied with and they required much more details and time… Actually, I probably spent more time emailing them back and forth and gathering documents (and then re-editing the documents) for them than the actual adoption process itself. Even if they had given us a grant, it may not have been worth the amount of time required. We understand that this has not been everyones experience with JSC. They seem like great people, with a great heart but I wish somebody had warned me about the time commitment and details that was required with JSC. <br /><br />In Him, <br /><br />M.
