What The Modern Miracle Foundation does

The Modern Miracle Foundation is a registered Canadian charity (Revenue Canada #790289706RR0001), founded in 2022 and headquartered in Toronto, that provides means-tested financial grants to Canadians seeking IVF fertility treatment. The foundation was established by two sisters, Danna Grunberg and Randi Grunberg, and their husbands Vlad Amurjuev and McKenzie Scott, all of whom have personal experience with fertility challenges. It operates two grant programs: a national standard IVF grant open to Canadian citizens and permanent residents working with any fertility clinic, and the Pollin x Modern Miracle IVF Grant Fund, a partnership program created in 2023 with Pollin Fertility in Toronto offering enhanced grants of up to $10,000 per recipient to Ontario residents with household income below $175,000 CAD. Grants are paid directly to treating clinics rather than to applicants, require a $50 application fee treated as a donation, and must be used within six months of approval; applications are currently paused with a planned reopening in Summer 2026. The foundation has no proprietary technology platform; its technology footprint consists of a Squarespace-hosted website, online application forms, and donation processing through Donorbox and Zeffy. Its revenue model is entirely donation-based, supported by individual contributions and annual fundraising events, with grant capacity directly constrained by fundraising inflows. Governance is provided by a board that includes a reproductive endocrinology specialist, a fertility law partner, a corporate/securities law partner, and an investment professional from Osmington Inc., supplemented by an advisory committee with a naturopathic doctor and a broadcaster who is also a media spokesperson for the organization.
