The Pay It Forward Fertility Foundation is a new non-profit 501 (c)3 organization that was created to help people of various circumstances afford expensive fertility treatments that are not covered by health insurance. The Pay It Forward Fertility Foundation awards grants once a year to couples who live in North Carolina needing assistance in paying for assisted reproductive techniques such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), in vitro fertilization using donated eggs and embryo adoption. Grant recipients must be treated at a certified fertility clinic that is a member of the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART). Costs for fertility treatments run in the thousands of dollars and most insurance companies do not cover the treatments and/or medicines.
The Pay It Forward Fertility Foundation was started in December 2008 with a generous donation from Lori and Rob Moscato of Raleigh. The Moscatos conceived their daughter through IVF at the North Carolina Center for Reproductive Medicine (NCCRM). After giving birth to Sophia in 2007 they conceived their son Ryan on their own. “Rob and I feel so blessed and so fortunate to have two little miracles, each in their own way,” explains Lori Moscato. “We were fortunate to have health insurance coverage for our IVF treatments but we know most people don’t. We want to help those couples because we can’t imagine life without our beautiful children and we want to pay it forward.”
