April 08, 2025 08:57 ET  | Source: Progyny, Inc. NEW YORK, April 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Progyny, Inc. (Nasdaq: PGNY), a global leader in women’s health and family building solutions, and The Broken Brown Egg, a nonprofit supporting BIPOC individuals and couples experiencing infertility, today announced the launch of their 2025 Awareness, Hope, and Activism (AHA) Grant, marking the fourth consecutive year of this family building partnership. The AHA Grant is an extension of the Broken Brown Egg’s mission to break down the unique barriers that Black individuals face when pursuing fertility and family building care. These challenges include financial obstacles, health disparities, and persistent social stigmas that often go unaddressed in traditional healthcare settings. By providing comprehensive support through education, specialized treatment access, financial assistance, and emotional resources, the grant creates pathways to parenthood that might otherwise remain out of reach. "Every year I'm moved by the stories of resilience from our community members navigating fertility challenges," said Regina Townsend, Founder, The Broken Brown Egg. "This fourth year of the AHA Grant represents our growing impact and unwavering commitment to ensuring BIPOC individuals don't face these journeys alone. That true 'AHA moment' isn’t just about awareness—it’s about empowerment through opening the door to new possibilities on the path to parenthood." In addition to financial support for treatment, recipients of this year's grant will also receive enhanced medication support through Alto Pharmacy, a digitally powered pharmacy specializing in fertility care. Alto's comprehensive approach includes access to expert pharmacists seven days a week and flexible delivery options—including same-day courier service—ensuring medications arrive when and where patients need them most. Additionally, grant recipients will benefit from unlimited access to a dedicated Progyny Patient Care Advocate who will serve as their personal fertility coach, offering clinical education, guidance, and emotional support throughout their entire family building journey. "At Progyny, we believe family building should be accessible to everyone,” said Janet Choi, MD, MSCP, Chief Medical Officer, Progyny. “Through our continued partnership with The Broken Brown Egg, we're addressing the systemic inequities that have historically limited options for BIPOC individuals. When we combine evidence-based clinical resources with culturally competent support systems, we achieve outcomes that extend beyond individual treatments —we nurture hope and create lasting change for everyone.” The grant application opens today, April 8, 2025, and welcomes submissions from U.S. citizens and legal residents aged 18-45. Applications will be accepted through May 12, with winners—selected by a distinguished panel of BIPOC infertility advocates and physicians—announced on May 19.
