Olive Fertility Centre is pleased to announce its partnership with Fertility Friends Foundation (FFF), a Canadian charity dedicated to providing grants for expenses associated with assisted reproduction—including IVF, egg and sperm donation, and gestational surrogacy. Fertility Friends Foundation also offers educational resources and emotional support to families in need as they navigate their fertility journey.
"We are thrilled to welcome Olive Fertility as a 2025 partner," said Isabelle Lefebvre-Vary, Executive Director of Fertility Friends Foundation. "Their commitment to patient care and accessibility aligns perfectly with our mission to provide financial support to those facing fertility challenges. We look forward to working together to create more opportunities for families to grow."
Dr. Beth Taylor, co-founder and co-director of Olive Fertility Centre, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: "We understand the emotional and financial burden that patients going through fertility treatments experience, and we are delighted to be able to work with Fertility Friends Foundation to help alleviate that burden and make fertility treatment more accessible. We are very excited that two of our patients, Brooke Mulder and Mariah Benson, have been beneficiaries of the FFF grants for 2025."
Brooke Mulder, one of the grant recipients, shared her experience: "Like many women, I decided to become a single mom by choice. The support I received from Fertility Friends Foundation not only helped relieve a huge financial burden but also gave me hope and support at a time when I needed it the most."
Mariah Benson, another beneficiary, recounted her journey: "After multiple miscarriages, my partner and I went through extensive fertility testing and discovered that IVF was our only option for growing our family. We were so honored and grateful to have received a $5,000 grant from Fertility Friends Foundation. We knew that IVF treatment was going to be expensive, but receiving this grant has made our IVF journey more affordable and taken some additional stress away from the process. We are so thankful that Olive Fertility was willing to work with us and the FFF to help make our dreams of being parents come true."
