Military Family Building Coalition
Military Family Building Coalition is the first military support non-profit organization focused solely on active duty military family building education and programs.
We do this by:
● Educating active duty service members and their families about the current military health care fertility and adoption landscape and help them navigate their path to a family
● Educating the American public about this gap in coverage, care and support for military families and what we can do to fix it
● Sharing resources for current military families who are seeking treatment, fertility preservation before a deployment, or adoption assistance to relieve some of their financial burdens
● Partnering with organizations who are pushing for policy change, so that the American public can fully #SupportOurTroops in this most important mission - building a family
Our vision is for an America that supports all active duty military service members to build the families they want regardless of deployment schedules, gender, fertility challenges, or financial situation.
