My Favorite Adoption Fundraisers!

Both domestic and international adoptions are expensive, but even adopting waiting children or fostering can significantly impact your family finances.  There are lots of ways that families fundraise, including taking on direct sale careers such as Pampered Chef, Thirty One, or Tupperware.  Some families have a creative person in the mix and make their own jewelry or design their own t-shirt as a personal fundraiser.  Many of these can be found on Etsy or even listed on eBay.

However, some folks prefer to use a product specifically designed for fundraising.  Below are some of my favorite adoption fundraising sites!


147 Million Orphans -- This organization has tons of apparel and accessories that say, "147 million orphans."  This is the estimated number of orphans globally and the clothing becomes an excellent conversation catalyst for sharing WHY we are adopting and fostering.  

wildOlive -- This store offers fundraising options of their t-shirt and accessory designs.  What is fantastic about their shop is that they market t-shirts that have a Christian significance and might have a wider audience appeal that something that speaks specifically to adoption.  They have beautiful designs and are definitely a place to check out if you are needing a creative fundraiser.

Rebekah Blocher -- is a jewelry artisan.  She makes 

incredibly beautiful clay jewelry that is unlike anything I've seen anywhere.  I'm absolutely in love with it.  She offers her jewelry as a means to fundraising and you can contact her about how that works.  Her jewelry is really has a wide range of appeal in that she has Christian designs and also more wide-ranging designs that would be popular across the female gender.

My Crazy Adoption -- This is Kari Gibson's store.  Since beginning her adoption, she has been an adoption advocate and has used this store to help reach communities all over the world!  She designs beautiful t-shirts and has a fundraising program that is well-established.  Her site is fantastic as she's a woman whose dreams seem impossible and then God does the impossible through her.
