Spring 2022 Family Building Grant Application opens March 15!

Expect Miracles Foundation is incredibly excited to announce the return of our dedicated Samfund Family Building application for young adult cancer survivors pursuing parenthood. These grants provide support for processes including IUI, IVF, surrogacy/gestational carrier, and adoption. Maximum grant amounts are $4,000. All candidates (in addition to meeting the eligibility criteria below) should have obtained at least some of the necessary resources to proceed with their designated process; Samfund grants are intended to help move survivors on to the next level of their process. Candidates should also have a sense of the timeline of their process, and ideally it should be taking place within the next year. Those who do not have any sense of timing, or who are planning their process out more than a year, will not be funded.

In order to be eligible, applicants must be cancer survivors that are not financial dependents, between the ages of 21 and 39, live in the U.S., and either be:

a) finished with active treatment with no evidence of disease, or

b) one year past planned therapy with stable disease, or

c) In remission and on hormonal therapy (such as Tamoxifen), in remission and on long-term targeted molecular therapy (such as Gleevec or Herceptin), or in remission and on immunotherapy (new!) 

The link to the Spring 2022 Family Building application will open and be available here two weeks from today on Tuesday, March 15. Also posted here are the Medical History Form and Affidavit (if you did not file taxes) so please start with those early!
