Campaign for the Second Century

Keep Spence-Chapin Strong for Another 100 Years

Early donors to the Campaign for the Second Century, created to coincide with Spence-Chapin’s centennial in 2008, have pushed us over the $10 million mark. Thanks to their generosity, we are growing key programs and beginning to pursue new initiatives such as Ankang, China’s Granny Program; providing international and post-adoption services in our Long Island and New Jersey offices; strengthening our services for women who face unplanned pregnancy; and helping ensure early permanency for children at risk.

Contributions to the Campaign for the Second Century help build our endowments:

• The Second Century Fund underwrites core adoption programs and services
• The Flicka Van Praagh Fund for International Programs funds initiatives in countries where the need is the greatest
• The Fund for Aftercare Services supports social workers who counsel adoptees seeking information about their biological backgrounds and birthparents seeking information about their children
• The Fund for Professional Development supports staff pursuing educational opportunities that advance Spence-Chapin’s expertise

• Extend post-adoption and child development programs
• Grow Granny Program to 8-12 orphanages

Who Supports

Spence-Chapin?

“My husband and I are so very grateful that Spence-Chapin was there for us and allowed us to build our family. We are very proud of our son, Michael—he graduated from high school in May 2007 and is now in college! As the agency moves into the new era, I know we all want to be part of sharing our monetary blessings to help Spence-Chapin continue to do what we do best—solidifying and helping to build families. I encourage you to pledge generously to the Campaign for the Second Century when asked.”
