A Child Waits Foundation concentrates virtually all of its reported giving on a single named recipient listed as 'SEE ATTACHED,' providing three sizeable grants that together total just over $2 million. The foundation appears to operate as a highly focused funder, supporting one organization or project repeatedly rather than distributing funds across many partners; specific programmatic interests cannot be determined from the available entries.
Highly concentrated: three large grants all to the same recipient, indicating repeat support for a single organization or initiative rather than broad, diversified giving.
A Child Waits Foundation concentrates its reported giving on a single named recipient listed as “See Attached,” with three large grants across 2023, 2024, and 2025 that together exceed $2 million. That pattern points to a highly focused funder rather than a broad grantmaker, and the available records do not break out the underlying project or organization behind the attachment label. The foundation’s active programs show why: it funds domestic adoption, international adoption, and a related international loan program for families financing adoption expenses. Those program descriptions are the clearest view of its purpose. In the recent grant list, the repeated recipient appears in Purchase, New York, alongside one grant of $681,500 in 2023, another of $654,180 in 2024, and a third of $665,500 in 2025. The consistency across years suggests ongoing support for the same beneficiary or attached request rather than a dispersed portfolio. Because the recipient details are withheld, the public record reveals the foundation’s structure and funding model more clearly than the specific project outcomes.
The foundation’s stated program areas center on adoption-related family support. In the Domestic Grant Program, it gives grants to assist families with the costs of domestic U.S. adoption. Its International Grant Program serves the same purpose for international adoption expenses, and the International Loan Program offers low-interest loans to help families finance international adoption costs. Those three program lines show a narrow thematic scope built around adoption financing rather than a mixed issue portfolio. The recent grants list does not identify separate thematic grantees for each program, but it does show repeated support to the same attached recipient in Purchase, New York, including a 2025 grant of $665,500. That recurring pattern is consistent with a funder that appears to channel support through a small number of adoption-related transactions or attached requests.
The reported grant sizes are tightly clustered: the 25th percentile is $661,010, the median is $667,840, and the 75th percentile is $674,670. That narrow band suggests highly standardized awards rather than widely varying checks. The foundation gives in a concentrated way, with the same listed recipient appearing in 2023, 2024, and 2025, which indicates repeat support over multiple years. Its structure looks like a private foundation with adoption-specific grant and loan programs, including an international loan offering. Unsolicited applications are accepted for the active programs listed.
