Building Families, Changing Lives: Our 2025 Impact Report

In 2025, The Surrogacy Foundation launched its first national grant, expanded pro bono partnerships, and closed the year at $973,000 raised — turning a single annual event into year-round work for the families who need it.

Surrogacy shouldn't be reserved for the wealthy. Nobody should have to choose between a family and financial stability. Having a baby shouldn't cost more than a house. Parenthood shouldn't depend on a net worth disclosure. Family building should feel possible. Surrogacy deserves sunlight, not secrecy. Every future parent deserves support. From paperwork to parenthood. It takes a village. Love makes a family. Surrogacy belongs in the mainstream. Experience the magic of surrogacy. Surrogacy shouldn't be reserved for the wealthy.
