There is the application for Lifesong matching grants and interest free loans on the right side of this blog. Pathway has entered into a "partnership" with Lifesong. Funds that are donated from others or raised (ie the garage sale) are put into our "account" with Lifesong.
This application can be filled out once you have your homestudy complete. When you fill out the application, you will be providing all details regarding cash flow, assets, debt, costs of your adoption, and relationship with God.
You then consent that you acknowledge this is NOT a guarantee that assistance will be granted. You also agree to release information from your adoption agency to them. Lifesong has the sole responsibility to accept or deny your application without cause.
On page 6 of the application, number 5 goes into the specifics of fundraising. By applying for the grants/interest free loans, you are agreeing "to formulate a mailing list of supporters and mail Support Kits to each one." Basically, your family and friends can make a donation to Lifesong (that is tax deductible) to go towards your adoption. The matching grant means that the money your family and friends donate to Lifesong (for your adoption) may be matched by Lifesong funds or interest free loan (from the PCC/Lifesong "account").
You also agree to send a picture, tax return, copy of homestudy, and letter from your pastor. You then submit all this information to Lifesong.
This application is very detailed, but easy to follow. Lifesong will gladly answer any questions you may have. Their phone number, address and email address are on the application.
