Child Welfare (2010 Q3)

Featured beneficiary in the CHILD WELFARE category for third quarter 2010:

Adoption is fundamentally about giving a child the dignity and love they deserve. This is the essence of The Gift of Adoption Fund and serves to intimately shape the organization’s mission and vision. The Gift of Adoption Fund's mission is to inspire adoption by providing grants to qualified parents – giving children who need families a permanent home and a chance to thrive. Their vision is to create a new industry of philanthropic giving by making adoption a charitable endeavor.

Through local chapters, dedicated Giving Circles and individual donations, The Gift of Adoption Fund is making an impact. Each year they hear from over 600 hopeful parents who are qualified to adopt but need the last bit of financial resources required to complete an adoption. Amazingly, since its inception, The Gift of Adoption Fund has granted over $1,900,000 to help change the lives of more than 650 children in need of families.

ABOUT THE SELECTION PROCESS

Foundation Beyond Belief highlights ten charitable organizations per quarter. Among other considerations, beneficiaries are chosen for efficiency, effectiveness, moderate size (annual budget under $10 million), compatibility with humanist focus on mutual care of this world and this life, no direct promotion or proselytizing of a particular worldview, and geographical diversity.

Active members can help us choose future beneficiaries by researching and nominating charities and by discussing, debating, and advocating for the causes of their choice through our social network and discussion forums. Final decisions are made by the Board, but collective member input is among the most important considerations.
