PGT-IVF Grants
In 2018, HelpCureHD began working on a PGT-IVF grant program for families affected by Huntington’s disease.
It is our mission that, with monetary assistance, we can close the financial gap that stands between some couples and the fertility assistance required to conceive a child that is HD-Free.
Requirements For Grants
At least one applicant must either have been diagnosed with or be at-risk for Huntington’s disease
The application must have supporting documentation providing they are at risk for HD
Applicants must meet the criteria for the clinic carrying out the PGT-IVF procedure
There must be no welfare concerns for any child born as a result of the PGT-IVF procedure
Athletes and Causes, Inc. has ultimate discretion in approving applications
Financial Cost
PGT-IVF cost on average $35,000
This grant will cover, for the selected couple(s), the cost of pre-cycle screening fees, fertility medication, IVF procedure costs, and genetic testing of the embryos
Selected applicants will receive funding for one round of PGT-IVF
In the event the IVF is unsuccessful, couples are permitted to reapply for a future grant
