Overview

Mission

Safeguard access to ivf technologies

What it reported doing in 2025

The fertility advocacy coalition for technology (f.a.c.t.) is a consortium of industry leaders dedicated to advancing in vitro fertilization (ivf) technologies. Our aim is to advocate for supportive legislation, drive innovation, and raise awareness about the benefits of advanced fertility treatments.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
