Over the past decade, Shady Grove Fertility and the Cade Foundation have helped to raise over $800,000 to support families who are struggling with and overcoming infertility.

Baltimore, MD With the grant application deadline on February 1, 2019, Shady Grove Fertility (SGF), a longtime supporter of the Tinina Q. Cade Foundation, reminds interested applicants to apply for several grants that are available at this time: the general Family Building Grants (available to anyone who has infertility), a Savannah Grant (available only to SGF patients), and the Dr. Stephen J. Greenhouse Grant (available only to SGF patients).

The Tinina Q. Cade Foundation’s Family Building Grant is an annual award that provides up to $10,000 to needy, infertile families. The grant assists with the costs associated with infertility treatment or domestic adoption. Family Building Grants can take the form of a cash award that is payable directly to the clinic or agency or a medication award that will be sent to the fertility clinic of the recipient. The grants are available for medical treatment of infertility and child adoption. The fertility medication grant is provided through a donation from EMD Serono.

The Dr. Stephen Greenhouse Grant, which covers one IVF cycle at SGF as well as medications made possible through a donation from MDR Pharmacy, is also available through the Tinina Q. Cade Foundation. The Dr. Stephen Greenhouse Grant is a grant specifically designated for an SGF patient to honor the memory and legacy of Dr. Greenhouse, an SGF physician and practice leader who died in an accident in July of last year. Dr. Greenhouse was a well-respected leader and role model and known for his endless and tireless devotion to his life’s work—supporting his patients in overcoming infertility. Dr. Greenhouse was a strong supporter of the Tinina Q Cade Foundation and attended many Cade Foundation events with his family over the years.

The Savannah Grant, which provides up to $10,000 for fertility treatment at SGF, is specifically designated for an SGF patient who is pursuing IVF, in honor of Savannah Caroline Pereira, an SGF baby who tragically died in March 2010. All SGF patients, including those who plan to use donor eggs and/or a gestational carrier, are eligible to receive the Savannah Grant.

To apply for these grants,please submit an application for the Cade Foundation Family Building Grant. SGF patients will automatically be considered for the Savannah Grant and Dr. Stephen Greenhouse Grant when they apply for a Family Building Grant.
