Cover Letter

Your cover letter is your opportunity to tell the A Child Waits Board about yourselves, about the child you are adopting and why this grant is important to you.  Please describe the child you are adopting and your motivation to adopt, include information about your fundraising efforts, donations, help from extended family, and other grants you have applied for or received.   A Child Waits does not require a Statement of Faith and it should not be substituted for the cover letter.
