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 practice “relationship-based support.” Individuals currently experiencing infertility and/or on a family-building journey are matched with trained fertility buddy 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 their buddies.
As a resident of Adams, Arapahoe, Denver, Broomfield, Boulder, Douglas, or Jefferson counties*, you may be eligible to apply for our grants:
Other financial benefits through JFF include:
*Please note that you must be receiving treatment at one our partner clinics below.
JFF offers community programming to spread awareness of infertility and family-building pathways and to bring our amazing community together.
Shira Gabry-Kalikow has a dual Master’s in Social Work and Public Health from Columbia University. Even before going through infertility herself, she worked in the reproductive health and infertility fields, interning at a fertility clinic in graduate school, teaching gender and sexuality education, and designing and developing educational content at a fertility start-up.
Shira joined the JFF-DEN Advisory Council in November and has significant experience at other non-profit organizations. Now she is excited to join the staff of a mission-driven organization focused on a cause about which she is both personally and professionally passionate. Shira believes social support is vital to coping with infertility and looks forward to further developing programs that provide this support at JFF.
After attending a pluralistic Jewish Day School from K-12 and becoming involved in various Jewish activities in college, Shira is excited to get to know the Denver Jewish community even better.
WHY JFF?
After years of unexplained infertility and loss, Paula and her husband Josh underwent multiple rounds of IUI and finally IVF. They are blessed with a wonderful 4-year-old son through IVF and have both become passionate about connecting with others in the Jewish community with shared experiences.
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.
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.
