Adoption Cost Estimate Form
This form is a good-faith estimate of expected adoption expenses. This form must be completed and returned prior to grant funds being disbursed.
Operating as a public charity, the Dunlap Foundation must comply with tax rules mandated by the IRS and therefore maintains records that document the sources of receipts and expenditures. Normally, adoption assistance funds are paid directly to adoption facilitator(s) for legitimately invoiced adoption expenses, and not to the adopting couple/family. Reimbursements paid directly to the couple are taxable as income and any tax levies are the responsibility of the couple. Families are encouraged to save all records/receipts related to the adoption(s) as they will need them for any tax credit for which they may apply.
