Overview

The EMF Family Building Grants, offered by the Expect Miracles Foundation, support young adult cancer survivors in their fertility treatment and family-building efforts. These grants are designed for applicants with a clear family-building plan and financial strategy, helping bridge the gap in costs associated with fertility preservation, assisted reproductive technologies, and related services. By prioritizing those actively engaged in their journey, the foundation aims to empower survivors to pursue their dreams of family.

Family Building Grants are for cancer survivors seeking assistance with fertility treatment and family building procedures. This is one of the most pressing post treatment concerns for young adult cancer survivors. SAMFund Family Building Grants help applicants who have a detailed and clear plan for the family building process, and also have additional means for managing the expenses associated with their family building plan. These grants provide a bridge for applicants to get to the next point in their family building journey.
