Adopting a child internationally is expensive. Estimates run at about $25 000-50 000, with typical costs including home study costs, adoption agency fees, travel expenses and more. Some families have saved, borrowed from family or even taken out bank loans. And now, others are turning to crowd funding. Sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo have helped finance new products, films, start-ups – so why not adoption?
Check out this article from CNN Money on AdoptTogether, the first nonprofit crowd funding site devoted to adoption. So far the site has raised $1 million for 300 adoptive families.
The Invisible Red Thread is made possible with 100% funding from the OMNI Television Independent Producers Initiative. The $32.5 million fund is a seven-year commitment created and made available for the independent production of third-language ethnocultural programming. The fund is not only dedicated to helping Canadian independent producers tell their stories in their language of comfort, but also to make sure that these stories are accessible to other ethnocultural communities through re-versioning in different languages. This is the industry’s first, and only, major source of funding for the independent production of non-official language programming. More details on the fund are at OMNI Television’s website
