Hope & Family Relief Fund
The financial burden of infertility can be overwhelming. Between treatments, procedures, and unexpected medical expenses, the cost of building a family can quickly add up. Our Hope & Family Relief Fund helps ease that burden by providing financial assistance toward infertility-related expenses, giving families a little relief and renewed hope as they continue their journey toward parenthood.
A Little Relief Along the Journey
The journey to building a family can come with an overwhelming financial burden. From IVF treatments and fertility medications to adoption and surrogacy expenses, the costs can add up quickly, often reaching far beyond what families ever imagined.
Our Hope & Relief Fund was created to help lighten that burden by providing financial assistance toward qualifying infertility-related expenses. Whether it’s helping with a recent medical bill or paying a provider directly for an upcoming procedure, our hope is to offer a little breathing room and encouragement along the way.
Because sometimes, a little relief can bring a whole lot of hope.
“His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”
Lamentations 3:22–23 (KJV)When a little relief could make a difference.

Relief Fund questions
The things families ask us most before they pick up the phone.
What are the requirements to apply?
To qualify for the Hope & Relief Fund, applicants must:
- Be a Kern County resident.
- Have an infertility diagnosis.
- Have a bill dated within the past four months or an upcoming expense within the next four months.
- Have qualifying expenses directly related to infertility treatment, IVF, surrogacy, or adoption.
How is this different from The Family Grant?
A Gift of Family Grant is our large award toward the cost of treatment, surrogacy, or adoption itself. It is applied for during set cycles and paid to your clinic or agency.
The Hope & Family Relief Fund is for infertility-related expenses that treatment has made difficult, including qualifying recent bills and upcoming expenses. Families may apply once per application cycle.
Will the money come to me directly?
For qualifying expenses already paid within the past four months, funds may be reimbursed directly to you. For upcoming or unpaid expenses, payments are made directly to the provider.
How quickly will I hear back?
Each application cycle will have set opening, closing, and drawing dates. Selected recipients will be notified directly.
Does asking hurt my chances at a grant?
Not in any way. The two programs are reviewed separately, and needing help with a bill is not held against a grant application. If anything, it tells us more about how to support you.
Who will know that I asked?
Only the small group who reviews requests. We do not post about individual families, and we will never share your name, your situation, or your photo in our fundraising without asking you first and getting a clear yes.
