Partnering to make fertility care financially accessible
We're awarding $15,000 grants to five individuals who need in vitro fertilization (IVF) to build their families.
1 out of 6 people experience infertility and deeply desire to build a family. However, for many, fertility treatment can be cost prohibitive. That’s why Caden Lane and The Prelude Network® have joined together to provide opportunities for women to apply for $15,000 IVF grants through their respective non-profits, The Conceive Fertility Foundation and The Wyatt Foundation.
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.
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 women from building their families. A percentage of Caden Lane’s profits go to The Conceive Fertility Foundation.
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.
