The BIVF Foundation has launched its 2025 Family Building and Fertility Grant cycle, providing financial assistance to individuals and couples pursuing fertility treatments and family building services, reaffirming the foundation's mission to make parenthood accessible to all.
BOSTON, Jan. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The BIVF Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to helping individuals and couples achieve their dreams of parenthood, is pleased to announce the launch of its 2025 Family Building and Fertility Grant program.
Applications for the second annual grant cycle are now being accepted through March 10, 2025.
In its inaugural 2024 grant cycle, the BIVF Foundation awarded over $120,000 through eight reproductive care grants, supporting individuals and couples in pursuing their family building dreams through fertility treatments and adoption services across New England.
The BIVF Foundation offers three distinct grant programs —IVF Cycle, Oncofertility, and Financial Assistance—guided by a committee of expert medical advisors and supported by generous donors who share a commitment to making family building opportunities accessible to all.
These grants aim to address the growing demand for fertility assistance amidst limited insurance coverage, providing vital financial support to individuals and couples pursuing fertility treatments and family building services. By reducing financial barriers, the grants make the journey to parenthood more accessible and attainable.
Individuals and couples interested in applying for the 2025 grants are encouraged to visit www.bivffoundation.org to explore the foundation's mission and review eligibility criteria.
The BIVF Foundation's Medical Advisory Committee brings together a diverse group of experts in fertility and family building, including:
- Michael Alper, MD | Medical Director, Boston IVF
- Janene Oleaga, Esq | Reproductive Attorney, Oleaga Law LLC
- Alan Penzias, MD | REI Fellowship Director, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center |Boston IVF
- Kori Ricketts | Senior Director of Equity/Culture, Reproductive Freedom for All (Formerly NARAL Pro-Choice America)
- Serene Srouji, MD | Medical Director, Brigham and Women's Center for Infertility
- David Stern, MBA | CEO, Boston IVF
- Alison Zimon, MD | Co-Medical Director, CCRM Boston
David Stern, Chairman of the BIVF Foundation, shared, "While progress is being made toward broader fertility insurance coverage, many individuals in New England still face substantial financial obstacles when pursuing family building options like IVF, egg donation, and adoption. Our mission is to reduce these barriers and provide the support needed for individuals and couples to take the next step in their journey toward parenthood."
This mission is only made possible through the generosity of like-minded private donors who are equally driven to make fertility treatments and family building resources accessible to those often excluded from such discussions due to financial constraints.
The generous industry sponsors who currently make this work possible include:
- LabCorp
- Progyny
- TMRW
- Village Fertility Pharmacy
