Jewish Fertility Foundation

What Jewish Fertility Foundation does

Jewish Fertility Foundation (JFF), founded in 2015 by CEO Elana Frank and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, is a U.S. nonprofit organization that delivers financial, emotional, and educational support to Jewish individuals and couples struggling with infertility. JFF operates a community-based service model across 13 U.S. communities — Atlanta, Birmingham, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Greater DC, Houston, Nevada, Pittsburgh, South Florida, and a National/Virtual chapter — each staffed by a dedicated Program Manager who connects beneficiaries with local resources. Core products include fertility grants of up to $10,000, 20% clinic discounts negotiated with partner reproductive medicine centers (including ACRM, Emory Reproductive Center, RBA, and Shady Grove Fertility), interest-free loans of up to $20,000 administered through regional Jewish free-loan associations, and the Fertility Buddies peer-mentoring program. Emotional and educational services include in-person and virtual support groups, the JFF Stories podcast, training for medical professionals and Jewish communal leadership, the JFF Research Grant, and specialized programs for LGBTQ+ families, grandparents, and postpartum parents.

JFF has no proprietary technology stack; it is a service-delivery nonprofit rather than a software company, and its platform is fundamentally human-mediated through community managers, volunteers, and clinical partners. Revenue is generated entirely through philanthropy — donations from individuals, Jewish federations (Cleveland, Miami, Pittsburgh, Greater Washington, Nevada, Cincinnati, Detroit), and major foundations (Marcus, Mayerson, Rose Community, Radow Family, Merage, Hirsch Legacy) — with cumulative grants, loans, and clinic discounts distributed to beneficiaries totaling $3,385,489, supporting 400 babies born, 116 active pregnancies, and 589 grants to date. Distribution occurs via local chapters, healthcare provider referrals through a 30+ member Medical Advisory Council, partnerships with Jewish community organizations, and digital channels including a podcast, blog, and social media. Beneficiary pricing is zero-cost; donor 'pricing' is unrestricted and federated contributions.
