With God’s leading, our aim is to champion families towards thriving in their commitment to Christ, adoption, and the healing and restoration of God’s children.
QUALIFICATIONS:
Preston Ranch Crisis Intervention Grants are for crisis intervention expenses for adopted children. Although our hope is to cover all granting requests, grants are contingent upon available funding, the number of applications received, and the family’s financial situation.
Applications may be submitted once every two years per child for expenses incurred within the last 12 months or anticipated within 24 months from a licensed facility in the United States with therapies conducted by licensed mental health providers (or overseen by a licensed provider). After all insurance is billed and exhausted and bills or receipts have been submitted to Preston Ranch, grants may be paid directly to the provider or reimbursed to the family.
Separate applications for other grant categories (medical care and mental health) may be submitted during the two-year wait period. Applications must be submitted before the child turns 21 and funds will expire when the child turns 23. Grants are non-transferable and intended for the specific child named in the application. Separate applications are required for each adopted child.
If there is a postponement or withdrawal from the crisis intervention process, a change in crisis intervention provider, or an update in adoption status, the applicant must notify Preston Ranch Ministries via email at grants@prestonranch.org to allow for a reevaluation of the application.
Applications must be submitted online, with contact information for a pastoral reference. Applications are accepted from Colorado residents with a maximum Adjusted Gross Income of $150,000.
While not required for approval, Preston Ranch Ministries may occasionally request a matching contribution from the applicant’s church to maximize assistance and ensure families receive comprehensive care from both their faith community and our ministry.
We encourage applicants to seek trauma-informed crisis intervention facilities and mental health providers to ensure a safe and trusting environment for the child.
