Our story

A ministry that
became a movement.

No More Fatherless began in 2019 as a ministry of The Bridge Church, born from a conviction that no child should walk through foster care without a family fighting for them.

Since then we’ve awarded more than seventy-five thousand dollars in adoption grants — helping families say yes to children who needed a forever home. Today we serve as a standalone nonprofit dedicated to foster care, supporting families and championing foster youth at every step of the journey.

Our work is small on purpose. A grant from us is a hand on the shoulder of a family already mid-leap — covering the airfare, the court filing, the first month of school supplies — so the leap lands.

“We don’t build orphanages. We build the families that empty them.”

Romans 8:15, 17 (ESV)
“For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’ … and if children, then heirs — heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ.”
The scripture our work is rooted in
How a grant works

Three steps. Two weeks. One family closer.

We keep it deliberately simple. No grant cycles, no donor-advised paperwork, no waiting list that quietly never ends. Just a small team reading every application and writing real checks.

01 — Apply

Tell us your story

A short form, no account required. We ask about your family, the children, and the specific need. Most applications take under 20 minutes.

02 — Review

We get to know you

A small grants committee reviews every application personally. We respond within two weeks — yes, no, or a follow-up call. No black box.

03 — Receive

Funds on the table

Approved grants are paid directly to the family or to the provider (agency, school, attorney) — whichever clears the obstacle fastest.

Back-to-School grants are open

Funding forever families.

Foster and adoptive families carry real costs — the school supplies, the uniform, the laptop, the first-day haircut. Apply for a Back-to-School grant. No account required.
