Guidance
We’ve been where you are. We know the confusion and frustration that comes with every step of the process. We’re here to help.

It Takes a Herd, founded in 2020, is an initiative to raise awareness about infertility and surrogacy. Our goal is to educate people about this common health issue and its impact on individuals and relationships. We want to assure people that infertility is not the end of their journey toward parenthood and that there are many paths to achieving this goal.

Through our grant program, we provide financial resources to those currently undergoing fertility treatment or facing the many expenses associated with surrogacy. Our mission is to foster a friendly, empathetic community that provides emotional support, informational resources, and a general sense of “you are not alone.”
