Serve a Widow. Fund Adoptions and Orphan Care.
How a Both Hands Project Works
Both Hands helps adoptive families and volunteer groups organize service projects for widows while raising funds for adoptions and orphan causes.
Both Hands Project Types
Fund an Adoption
Raise funds for your adoption by gathering a team, sending out sponsorship letters and serving a widow.
Fund a Ministry
Help a widow in your community while raising funds for an orphan care ministry or your church’s adoption fund.
Fund Post-Adoption Costs
Fundraise for post-adoption costs like medical, therapeutic, and mental health treatments by serving a local widow.
Group Service Projects
Your business, small group, or friends can serve a widow while raising funds for grants for adoptive families.
Gather a Team
Every Both Hands project starts with gathering a core team of around 10+ people who want to serve a widow and fundraise together. This can be family members, friends, co-workers, your church small group, etc.
Find a Widow
Widows are often overlooked in our communities and may not know who to ask for help. If you know of a widow in need through your church or neighborhood, great! If not, the Both Hands team will guide you through finding a widow in your community to serve, typically with tasks like landscaping, cleaning, decluttering and painting.
Raise Sponsorship
Your core team will raise sponsorship for your project day by sending pre-made fundraising letters to their contacts and sharing your online crowdfunding page hosted on Both Hands' website. All donations made to your project are tax deductible.
Both Hands is offering $3,000 matching grants to families and groups who complete a Both Hands project in 2026, which will make your funds go even further!
Serve for a Day
As you determine a date for your project, Both Hands will provide you with a toolkit that's accessible 24/7 to help you plan an impactful project day, and our staff will personally coach you through every step.
We also provide a $1,000 supply grant for your project and send tips on how to approach local merchants to donate supplies. You and your team will be fully equipped to have an incredible day living out James 1:27.
Both Hands projects raised an average of over $23,000* the past three years, with many projects raising even more than that!
* Based on the average of every adoption fundraising project completed in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Families are not guaranteed to raise the average.

No Administration Fees
We don't take a penny out of the funds raised for adoption or orphan care projects for ourselves.
We are committed to doing everything we can to help our Both Hands families afford adoption. That's why we don't take out any administrative fees from donations to our projects. If a donor chooses not to cover the credit card and processing fees, Both Hands will cover it to ensure 100% of the gift supports the cause.
