Each application is reviewed by members of The Modern Miracle team, including Medical Advisors. They verify the information provided in the application form as well as the Medical Evaluation signed by your physician.
Personal information in the Medical Evaluation form is redacted to eliminate bias and doctors will never review and opine on their own patients.
There are many considerations that go into the applicant selection process. For example, we review financial need as well as the prognosis provided by your doctor. All of these considerations help us with the difficult decision of who is selected for a grant.
While the foundation aims to review applications as quickly as possible, it may take up to 8 weeks to complete the review.
Once the application review is completed, you will be contacted via email as to the outcome of your application.
You can re-apply but we suggest only re-applying if there has been a material change in your application. For example, if your application is rejected due to medical prognosis, we recommend applying if there has been a material change to your treatment plan (eg. from using own egg/sperm to using donor).
If you’re unsure if you should re-apply, reach out to the team at pollin@modernmiraclefoundation.com and they can provide guidance.
These grants are one-time grants. As such, you cannot re-apply after successfully receiving a grant from the Pollin x Modern Miracle IVF Grant fund.
Start with an OHIP-covered consultation to explore your options.
