Elana Frank

Elana Frank, entrepreneur and mom to 3 boys through IVF and embryo donation, helps intended parents navigate becoming parents through her non-profit, the Jewish Fertility Foundation (JFF). Cost, education, and access were tremendous obstacles for this “unspoken” issue in the Jewish community, so she rallied countless like-minded people and created JFF. She has raised more than $7 million, trained 1000+ community and healthcare leaders in infertility sensitivity, matched up hundreds of people with “fertility buddies”, allocated more than 2.5 million dollars in fertility grants, “birthed” 200+ babies, and is now scaling JFF nationally.
