About

Nest Egg is a not-for-profit organization in Connecticut, intending to provide aids to people who find infertility treatment too expensive.

Number and Amount Of Grant Award

The number of grants available is highly variable based on how much the organization is able to raise. Each grant offers up to $10,000 in financial assistance. Any expense exceeding this amount is the participant’s responsibility.

Award Coverage

Nest Egg Foundation’s award will cover only IVF treatment. However, this definition of IVF is a bit broader. Treatment cycles, embryo transfers, cryopreservation, embryo testing, and any other costs regarding third-party IVF. The grant will only be available for use at RMACT, the CARS, and one of two Connecticut Centers of Excellence.

Application Fee and Eligibility

Participants must pay a fee of $25 at the time of application. Both the partners must be US citizens living in New York or Connecticut. A clinically-approved diagnosis for primary infertility (i.e., couples with no children) is required, except for same-sex couples and singles.

The participants’ annual family income should be less than $140,000 for couples and $85,000 for single people. There are some other clinical criteria available on their website.
