Incomplete applications will not be considered.

• If you are NOT a patient of Fertility Answers (within the last two years), you will need to provide a signed letter of referral (on letterhead) from your gynecological professional providing a diagnosis and medical need for IVF treatment, plus copies of any pertinent medical records or lab results. Without this information, the committee cannot fully evaluate your need for in vitro fertilization or your chances of success with this treatment.
• Proof of income/wages. Please provide a copy of IRS form 1040 – US Individual Income Tax Return of your 2022 Federal Income tax return (both returns if partners file separately).

• Copy of medical insurance cards (front and back) for both applicant and partner.
• A personal letter, statement or other documentation to the committee explaining the compelling nature of the applicant’s circumstances, struggles with infertility and why you feel you are a candidate for the award. Any video submissions must be less than 5 minutes/50MB in length.
• A signed media release giving the Gift of Hope full rights to tell the applicant’s story.
• Application must be received on or before the application deadline. Any application received past this date will not be considered.
