Funds are available for disbursement only after your dossier has been submitted and you have received a first trip travel date. Funds are NOT available for anything prior to this, including but not limited to home study, document fees, upfront agency costs, USCIS application, notaries, apostilles, mailing, etc. Families should have the necessary funds available to move forward without delay prior to committing to a child. This is in the best interest of the child. Grant funds can pay for airfare directly, and for agency fees due at that time. Any remaining funds can be disbursed to you as cash for use with travel costs in-country. Our preferred method of disbursement is via Paypal (no fees). This is the fastest way to get money to you when it is time to travel, so please have an active Paypal account set up and ready to receive these funds. These funds are provided to you as a gift and are not counted as taxable income, however Reece’s Rainbow will provide each family with a report at the end of the year indicating grant funds disbursed, at their request.
