The Wyatt Foundation and The Conceive
Foundation announce five recipients who will each
receive a $15,000 IVF grant to help
them build their families
HOUSTON, June 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Wyatt
Foundation and The Conceive Fertility
Foundation, two national nonprofit organizations dedicated to
education, grants, and research in fertility, announce the
recipients of an IVF grant program that will expand financial
accessibility to five couples who require fertility services to
build their families.
Each recipient will receive a $15,000 grant to offset IVF treatment costs,
which covers approximately the cost of one IVF cycle. The national
campaign and partnership, which launched in April 2024 during National Infertility Awareness
Week and ran throughout May in observance of Women's Health Month,
raised crucial awareness around infertility and the financial
barriers many individuals and couples face when accessing fertility
care. The campaign drew in nearly 1,000 applicants with moving
stories of infertility journeys.
"The stories of our grant program applicants were incredibly
moving, and each one was unique, reiterating the fact that
infertility doesn't discriminate, and it can affect anyone from any
background," shares Dr. Alice D.
Domar, health psychologist and Chief Compassion Officer at
Inception Fertility. "We hope that through this program, we are
able to raise awareness that infertility impacts one in six
individuals of child-bearing age, that it is a disease, and that
any and everyone who wants to have a baby deserves to have a
baby."
Recipients of the grant program include aspiring parents who
each have powerful stories and continue to persevere through the
heartbreak of infertility to build their families. These include
stories of unexplained infertility, pregnancy loss, failed IVF
cycles, and genetic conditions and hormonal disorders.
The nonprofit arm of Inception Fertility™, the largest
provider of fertility services in North
America, the Wyatt Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization dedicated to helping individuals and couples achieve
their dream of building a family through assisted reproductive
technology (ART). The organization was started by TJ Farnsworth,
the founder and CEO of Inception Fertility™, and his wife
Margaret Farnsworth, who
successfully conceived their first child, Wyatt, through IVF.
"Hearing the stories of these aspiring parents brought back my
own memories of my experience with infertility," says Margaret Farnsworth, Executive Director of The
Wyatt Foundation. "Inception Fertility and The Wyatt Foundation are
honored to help these recipients get closer to realizing their
dreams of having a baby."
The Conceive Fertility Foundation is the nonprofit arm
of Caden Lane, a
direct-to-consumer lifestyle brand of baby products focused around
the birth of a child. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the
Conceive Fertility Foundation aims to support patients who have
been impacted by the struggle of infertility through education and
grants. Katy Mimari, CEO of Caden
Lane, launched The Conceive Fertility Foundation after her own
experience with infertility and understanding the financial
barriers that prevent some aspiring parents from building their
families. A percentage of Caden
Lane's profits go to The Conceive Fertility Foundation.
"The IVF Grant Program was an exciting opportunity for our
company and foundation to do more to support the infertility
community while raising needed awareness around the emotional and
financial impact of fertility care," says Katy Mimari, CEO of Caden Lane and The Conceive
Fertility Foundation. "We look forward to following the journeys of
the recipients, and we wish them all the best."
About The Wyatt Foundation
The Wyatt Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization
dedicated to helping individuals and couples achieve their dream of
building a family through assisted reproductive technology (ART) by
reducing the financial barriers to IVF through scholarships awarded
based on financial need and clinical factors determining potential
success. The foundation has two main goals: to provide
financial assistance to individuals and couples who cannot afford
fertility treatments and to fund research in the field of
infertility.
The organization was started by TJ Farnsworth the founder and
CEO of Inception Fertility™ and his wife Margaret who successfully
conceived their first child through IVF. Upon the birth of their
son Wyatt, TJ reflected back on his family's experience as
patients. He realized that many aspiring parents were carrying the
same emotional burden that he and his wife had—and that few
fertility clinics took a holistic approach to consider the
physical, psychological, financial and mental aspects of
infertility. To learn more please visit:
