Family Grants
The inability to conceive can be very stressful and emotional for couples. When hopeful parents learn the cost of treatments, many become discouraged in the dream of creating or expanding their family.
We established our Family Grant to help couples overcome the financial difficulties that come with infertility treatments. The frequency and amount of grants is based on the availability of funds raised throughout the year. Typically grants are awarded every 4 months, but may be more or less frequent. Grant amounts vary and can be up to $30,000.
Our Family Grant covers up to $30,000 when funding permits for the IVF, surrogacy and the adoption process. Grants will be held for up to a year and will be distributed to the IVF/Surrogate/Adoption facilities chosen by the applicant. If payments out of the IVF/Surrogate/Adoption facilities need to be made, a bill/invoice can be submitted to Amelia Molloy’s Angels to be paid.
