MATCHING GRANT OPPORTUNITY!
Their board has approved $3,000 matching grants for home-study-approved families who complete a Both Hands project by August 1, 2026. I've attached a PDF with all the information and would love for you to forward this to any family who could benefit! Our goal is to serve 150 families this year, and we need your help to get there!
As a refresher, Both Hands helps adoptive families organize service projects for widows while raising funds for their adoptions. On average, families who complete a Both Hands project have raised $23,000, with 100% of funds going toward their adoption expenses. To date, we’ve completed 1,609 projects nationwide, raising over $24.5 million for adoptions and orphan causes. Here's how the process works:
1. Gather a Team: Recruit 10+ friends to participate in your project.
2. Find a Widow: Both Hands coaches you on how to locate a widow in your community who needs assistance.
3. Serve for a Day: On the project day, you and your team will serve the widow with tasks like painting, cleaning, and landscaping. We also provide guidance on securing local donations for supplies. We also provide a $1,000 project supply grant.
4. Raise Funds for Your Adoption: Raise sponsorship for your project day through sending letters and sharing your fundraising webpage.
Next Steps:
Apply Today or feel free to email me or schedule a call if you have any questions. Thank you for all you do to support families as they bring their children home through the gift of adoption. We’re so grateful for your partnership! If you'd like an image and a caption to share on socials, please let me know, and I'll share it with you!
