Serving Adams, Arapahoe, Denver, Broomfield, Boulder, Douglas, and Jefferson Counties.
These support groups are free and open to all women experiencing infertility in Denver, Boulder and the surrounding counties. We currently offer support groups for primary and secondary infertility, with both virtual and in-person options.
Our Fertility Buddies® program offers “relationship-based support.” Individuals currently experiencing infertility and/or trying to build their family are matched with trained fertility veterans, who understand the pressure, pain, and emotional upheaval caused by infertility and various paths to parenthood, and can offer the much-needed support to those currently on a journey.
As a resident of Adams, Arapahoe, Denver, Broomfield, Boulder, Douglas, or Jefferson counties*, you may be eligible to apply for our grants:

Elisheva spent the first 18 years of her life in Southern California thoroughly enjoying the beach and warm weather. She spent her gap year in Israel before attending Columbia University and the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York City. She graduated with two bachelor degrees in Contemporary History and Modern Jewish studies. After graduating, she moved to Atlanta, Georgia where she worked in event planning and catering. She married her husband Elie Engler in 2008. After deciding to start a family, they realized it’s not as easy as it looks. After multiple rounds of IUI and IVF, they are so grateful to have welcomed two daughters and a son into their family.
Going through the painful experience of infertility opened their eyes to how lonely and isolating it can feel. Together with Elana Frank and a wonderful group of people, Elie and Elisheva helped create the Jewish Fertility Foundation. Elisheva is so excited to continue her professional journey with JFF as a Program Manager. She believes strongly in raising awareness of the struggles of infertility and providing those experiencing infertility with a helping hand and an open heart.
In addition to her congregational work, Cantor Sacks advises national Reform Movement organizations across the country, chairing and serving on associations for the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, the American Conference of Cantors, and the Union for Reform Judaism. She is a frequent presenter at conferences and panels on the topic of worship design and ritual innovation. Cantor Sacks is married to Elias Sacks, Director of the Jewish Publication Society. Cantor Sacks, Eli, and their children - Charlie and Tova - live in Denver.
Why JFF?
After undergoing four years of infertility treatments including IUI, IVF, many surgeries, several miscarriages, and the initial engagement of a surrogate, Erin always wanted to find a way to give back to the infertility community. She is excited to help JFF by mentoring and connecting with those experiencing infertility as well as assisting in raising awareness about infertility and the organization throughout the Denver community.
Evi is a member and immediate past Chair of the AIPAC Colorado Council, and serves on the board of several organizations including: Rose Community Foundation - Jewish Life Committee, Metropolitan State College of Denver Foundation, Children's Hospital of Colorado Foundation, and Denver Health Foundation. Evi's former board participation includes being a former Trustee for Denver Jewish Day School, JEWISHcolorado, the Women's Bean Project and a Trustee with the Colorado Symphony. Evi was also an original founder of "CHAI", a community response to domestic abuse, that is now a part of Jewish Family Service in Denver. CHAI provides confidential counseling, advocacy, information and referrals.
Why JFF?
Evi is excited to be involved with JFF - serving a long time need in the Jewish community - addressing fertility, IVF, surrogacy and overall family building. Up until recently our community had very few resources, so she is thrilled to be a part of this project. She wants more women to participate in the future, and cares deeply about setting an example for her children and (many) grandchildren to engage in important community work.
Previously, Pauline worked as the Operations and Marketing Manager for Touch the Top, Inc., supporting Adventurer, Author, and Keynote Speaker Erik Weihenmayer, who happens to be blind. Erik also founded the Fort Collins nonprofit No Barriers, which his team, including Pauline, supported. Her role included traveling the country with Erik and acting as his event manager for his presentations to corporations, nonprofits, and schools. During her time with Touch the Top, Pauline created and produced the No Barriers Podcast, which highlighted folks who had faced immense challenges in their lives and the process of healing had turned their pain into meaning.
Pauline’s journey to becoming a mom was only possible through reproductive technology. After years of experiencing infertility, she was advised to embark on IVF. Eventually, Anna was conceived after many emotional years and ups and downs. Having to go through the process while the country was on COVID restrictions made Pauline extra cognizant of how isolating, lonely, and challenging fertility treatments are and the importance of mentorship and support. She is thrilled to join the Advisory Council and bring her lived experience and dedication to the work JFF provides their community.
