The Wyatt Foundation and The Conceive
Fertility Foundation Partner to Help People Access Fertility
Care
HOUSTON, April 26,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Wyatt
Foundation and The Conceive Fertility
Foundation announce today a joint partnership that will
award $15,000 grants to five
individuals/couples who need in vitro fertility (IVF) to build
their families. Launching during National Infertility Awareness
Week (April 21-27, 2024), this
partnership aims to raise awareness, offset treatment costs, and
support research for more affordable fertility care options.
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.
"I understand the emotional impact of infertility firsthand and
how financial accessibility can compound an already stressful and
overwhelming journey," shares Margaret
Farnsworth, Executive Director of The Wyatt Foundation. "It
is our hope that every aspiring parent who needs fertility services
to have a baby can access the treatment they deserve."
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.
"We are so proud to partner with the Wyatt Foundation to spread
awareness about the financial impact on fertility care and help
more people break through some of those barriers that would
otherwise delay or stop them from getting the quality fertility
care they need," says Katy Mimari,
CEO of Caden Lane and The Conceive Fertility Foundation. "We walk
alongside every person who has experienced the heartbreak of
infertility – and haven't given up hope of having a baby."
Each $15,000 grant covers
approximately the cost of one IVF cycle, excluding fees for
medications or other services such as pregenetic implantation
testing (PGT). Grant recipients can go to a clinic of their
choosing, but those seeking care at a clinic within The
Prelude Network® (Prelude) will receive a 10% discount
on their fertility services, which can be used towards medication
or other costs. Prelude is the clinical network of Inception and
has more than 90 locations throughout California, Florida, Indiana, New
York, Philadelphia,
Tennessee, Texas, and parts
of Western Canada.
Beginning today through Monday, June
3, those interested are encouraged to apply for a grant by
visiting yourivfgrant.com, where they can learn more about the
application process and requirements. To be considered for a grant,
applicants must meet specific criteria, including showing financial
need and providing a formal infertility diagnosis. Grant recipients
will be announced on Monday, June 17,
2024.
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:
