Using our new platform, hopeful parents can build a fundraiser, raise funds for fertility treatments (or nominate a loved one), and start a conversation. One of the best ways to ensure that your fundraising campaign is successful is by sharing with your network. Being vulnerable can feel scary, we get it, but when you open up to family and friends about your infertility struggle (or a loved one’s), we know you’ll find an outpouring of love and support. To help you get inspired and find your voice, we’ve put together some helpful fundraiser invite templates for you to send. The templates can be used to invite others to donate to your cause via email, social media, or text.
Remember to use our comprehensive email invite tool that can be accessed via your Dashboard. Just go to Manage > Send Email Invites and fill in the required information. You can copy and past up to 50 email addresses to send out bulk invites.

“Hello, social media friends! ?
I wanted to take a moment to be raw and real about something I struggle with. My partner and I have been trying to conceive for years without luck. It’s heartbreaking for us, but we know that pregnancy is possible through fertility treatments like IVF, IUI, or even surrogacy. However, these treatments come at a cost. The torment of being unable to conceive naturally is hard on its own without adding on hundreds of thousands of dollars of medical debt.
With infertility treatment costs so high, I humbly ask for your help to make our parenthood dreams come true. I am raising funds for fertility treatment through Gift of Parenthood. Even just $5 makes a huge difference and gives us hope that we will one day hold a baby in our arms. Thank you for considering us!

“Dear [co-worker name],
I wanted to take a moment today to shine a light on a cause that is near and dear to my heart. My brother and his partner have a dream to build their family with surrogacy. The couple has been together for ten years; they are just missing a sweet baby to complete their family. With surrogacy costs so high, they need some extra assistance.
To help them make their dream of parenthood a reality, I am fundraising on their behalf through the Gift of Parenthood. I hope to raise [$ amount] to cover the initial costs of surrogacy and help ease the burden of this process. Consider donating so [names] can be the parents they deserve to be.
Thank you for reading and considering this cause. You can visit their fundraising page here: [insert your own link].
Warm wishes,
[name]”

“Hey, guys,
As you know, [name] and I adopted a baby last year. After fighting infertility for so long, we never thought that we would be able to hold a child in our arms. We are so humbled and grateful for this path.
Unfortunately, many other deserving couples are not as lucky as we are. The average cost of adoption in the U.S. is between $60,000-$70,000, a price tag that most hopeful parents simply cannot afford. The high costs prevent many loving couples from building their families and helping children in need. I wanted to ask you all to join me in giving the gift of family to children and parents by donating to my fundraiser for the Gift of Parenthood, a non-profit that works diligently to end the stigma and financial strain of infertility by educating, inspiring, and providing grants for future parents. With your help, we can bring more children home. Donate here if you are able: [insert link]. Thank you so much! :)”

“Dear [insert name]
I hope all is well with you. I am emailing you today to tell you about something that I struggle with and to ask for your help…
I have been struggling with infertility in silence for too long and I want to take my voice back. In order to build my family, I need fertility treatments, but the costs are just too much to handle right now. Infertility is emotionally draining, to say the least, and it’s only compounded by the financial strain. I often ask myself, “Why me?” as I scroll through pregnancy announcements on social media. My ultimate dream is to be a mother and I know I can get there.
To make my dream a reality, I am fundraising for fertility treatments through the Gift of Parenthood. I hope to raise [$ amount] to make my journey to parenthood possible. Consider donating if you can, it would mean everything to me.
