The Amy Hood Adoption Endowment Fund was established by the Tennessee Baptist Mission Board to provide financial grants for Tennessee Baptist families seeking to adopt children.
Named in honor of Amy Hood, a passionate adoption advocate who helped her own family adopt three children internationally, the endowment aims to build a substantial fund to support adoptions for years to come.
With children in Tennessee and around the country awaiting forever families, this fund helps remove financial barriers so children can find loving, Christian homes.
Application Process
Applications are accepted throughout the year with multiple deadlines, so families can apply when they’re ready for their adoption journey. If you miss one deadline, simply apply for the next available cycle.
