Shady Grove Fertility grant information
The Dr. Stephen Greenhouse Grant is specifically designated for SGF patients to honor the memory and legacy of Dr. Greenhouse, an SGF physician and practice leader who died in an accident in July of 2018. Dr. Greenhouse was a well-respected leader and role model and known for his devotion to his life’s work — supporting his patients in overcoming infertility. Dr. Greenhouse was a strong supporter of the Cade Foundation and attended many Cade Foundation events with his family over the years.
In 2010, the Cade Foundation established the Savannah Grant, a family-building grant that provides up to $10,000 for in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment at SGF. This grant is in honor of Savannah Caroline Pereira, an SGF baby who died in March 2010. In total, the Savannah Fund has raised more than $126,000 to celebrate Savannah’s memory and to support families struggling with infertility. To date, the Savannah Grant has supported nine families.
Applicants will be notified by email about funding decisions by June 1, 2022, followed by a formal celebration at the Cade Foundation Family Building Gala on November 12, 2022, in Baltimore.
