Fertility grants for Jewish families

At Stardust Fertility Foundation, we believe the cost of fertility treatments shouldn’t be a barrier to building the family of your dreams.

We wish we could put a healthy, beautiful baby in every family’s arms, but at the very least, we can relieve some of the financial burden that comes with fertility struggles.

Our grants are available to couples and individuals — regardless of Jewish denomination or involvement, sexuality, or marital status — in the tri-state area (CT, NJ, and NY).

Treatments are cost prohibitive and insurance coverage is limited

We’re solving this in 4 key ways:

  • We provide grants of up to $15k to eligible couples approved by our grants committee*

    *We try to help everyone we can, but cannot guarantee grants to all applicants. Decisions are made based on availability of funds and a detailed needs assessment by our grants committee.

  • We partner with a wide range of fertility clinics throughout the tri-state area to provide up to 20% cost reduction in treatments for our grant recipients.

  • We secure the best pricing for our grant recipients on fertility medications through our partner speciality fertility pharmacies.

  • Through our Stardust Fertility Friends program, we are creating a community of peer supporters — so our grant recipients can get support from people who really understand what they’re going through.

“Thanks to Stardust, we no longer had to worry about the financial trade-off between growing our family and affording our home”

Why “Stardust”?

“I will make your descendants like the dust of the earth…” (Genesis 13:16)

“…as many as the stars of the heavens…” (Genesis 26:4)

At Stardust, we’re helping to fulfill the promises made to the Jewish people in Genesis — one Jewish baby at a time.

We believe building the family of your dreams shouldn’t be impeded by financial burden — no matter what your Jewish family looks like. That’s why we provide financial grants to allow Jews in need to pursue fertility treatments, regardless of their Jewish denomination or involvement, sexuality, or marital status.
