Fertile Dreams - Sponsors and Partners

Many of us hold a special place in our hearts for those experiencing the challenge of infertility. As both a professional and a patient, Dr. Mark P. Trolice, a leading fertility physician in Florida, has had the unique opportunity of experiencing the impact and burden of this issue. This is why in 2004, he founded Fertile Dreams Inc., a non-profit organization, based in Winter Park, Florida, dedicated to offering patients hope through education and access to resources.

In 2006, the "Embracing Hope Grant" was established and designed to assist infertile couples realize their dream of building a family. Qualifying by financial need, patients apply for the grant and our board determines those who will receive a grant toward an In-vitro Fertilization (IVF) cycle at any clinic in the country chosen by the patient. This year we also plan to establish a grant program for couples seeking financial assistance for adoption.

If you have any questions about how you can assist or volunteer, please contact Ingrid Burch at 863.412.2774 or Ingrid@fertiledreams.org
