What Fertility Within Reach does

Fertility Within Reach is a 501(c)(3) national nonprofit organization founded in 2010 and headquartered in Needham, Massachusetts. Its stated mission is to increase access to fertility treatment and fertility preservation by educating patients, policymakers, employers, and service providers through personalized consultations, workshops, and legislative testimony using proprietary and evidence-based data. The organization was co-founded by Davina Fankhauser and Sandra O'Keefe and is led by an interim board president and a board that includes clinicians from Brigham and Women's Hospital, CCRM Boston, and other fertility specialty practices.

The organization's core offerings are organized around three pillars: grants and financial assistance, educational content, and legislative advocacy. The signature program is Banking on the Future, a fertility preservation grant program that has provided 50+ grants, with an emphasis on cancer patients and transgender individuals. It also curates a directory of third-party grants and discount programs, IVF financing and shared-risk program information, and produces fertility preservation booklets in English and Spanish for adolescent oncology and transgender patients. The content portfolio includes 10+ published literature resources, a video library, podcasts, email newsletters, and a blog. The organization actively engages on policy across 35 states, consulting with legislators and actuaries on the cost of IVF insurance premiums.

The business model is donation-driven. As a 501(c)(3), Fertility Within Reach relies on tax-deductible donations and grants to fund programs, supplemented by a merchandise e-commerce shop from which 100% of proceeds support advocacy and education. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is digital-first, through the website, newsletters, video, podcasts, and social media, with in-person engagement via workshops, legislative testimony, and advocacy days. The team is small (1-10 employees) and is supplemented by interns across health communications, public health, government affairs, and social media. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association: National nonprofit dedicated to infertility advocacy, education, and patient support — directly comparable as FWR co-founder Davina Fankhauser is a former Online Services Manager there. Operates overlapping legislative advocacy, patient education, and grants programs on a larger scale.
• AllPaths Family Building (formerly BabyQuest Foundation): Nonprofit providing fertility grants and advocacy — comparable as a direct match for FWR's Banking on the Future grant program and patient advocacy focus. Co-founder Fankhauser also held an Advocacy Director role here.
• Cade Foundation: Provides fertility grants and educational programming through a nonprofit model — closely mirrors FWR's Banking on the Future grants, fertility financing guidance, and patient education content.
• The Chick Mission: Nonprofit focused specifically on fertility preservation grants for cancer patients — directly comparable to FWR's fertility preservation booklets for adolescent oncology patients and the Banking on the Future program.
• LiveStrong Fertility: Program addressing fertility preservation for cancer patients — overlaps with FWR's fertility preservation booklets and Banking on the Future cancer-patient grant recipients.
• Family Equality: National nonprofit advancing LGBTQ+ family building — directly comparable to FWR's documented work on LGBTQ+ family-building video content and transgender fertility preservation grants.

Broad incumbents

• Center for Reproductive Rights: Global reproductive rights legal advocacy organization — broader incumbent with FWR's Interim Board President Quinn Kilmartin serving as Program Associate there. Overlaps in legislative advocacy and policy work but operates in a wider portfolio.
• American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM): Professional society for reproductive medicine — broader incumbent that conducts legislative advocacy on fertility/IVF access across many states, mirroring FWR's policy work but with a clinical/professional member base.
• March of Dimes: Large nonprofit focused on maternal and infant health — broader incumbent with overlapping reproductive-health policy advocacy and patient education missions, although operating at substantially larger scale.

Emerging players

• Broken Brown Egg: Founded by FWR Board Member Regina Townsend, it addresses infertility in Black women — a smaller emergent organization targeting a specific demographic that intersects with FWR's maternal-mortality and inclusivity work.
