Resolve The National Infertility Association

Public Awareness: Activities that raise awareness about the disease of infertility and encourage the public to understand their reproductive health. Public Awareness activities include:National Infertility Awareness Week (NIAW): The only federally recognized health observance for infertility which was founded by RESOLVE in 1979. Held in April each year, the 2022 observance was focused on the theme "We Can All" which encouraged people to get support, advocate, support others, and make a difference. For the first time ever, the Empire State Building in New York City was lit up Orange in recognition of infertility awareness on April 27, 2022. See Schedule O for continuation

Advocacy: RESOLVE hosts the only federal Advocacy Day aimed at the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives for the entire infertility and family building community. The event is hosted in partnership with the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. In FY 2022, the event was virtual (May 18, 2022) and 434 advocates from 46 states plus DC talked to their U.S. Senators and Representative about the disease of infertility and advocated for legislation important to people struggling to build their family. RESOLVE has a robust volunteer committee of more than 50 people that help with Advocacy Day, recruiting advocates, training them, and managing the day through state delegations organized by State Captains.

RESOLVE Support and Education: During FY 2022, RESOLVE continued hosting monthly virtual support groups and volunteers also hosted virtual groups for people in their communities. In April 2022, RESOLVE began allowing in-person support groups to resume after a two-year suspension due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After launching a campaign to recruit new volunteer hosts and encourage people to find support, in-person support groups began meeting in the spring of 2022. RESOLVE partners with Inspire to provide a free, online support community for those people building their family, those in medical treatment, those who are pursuing adoption, and those who are resolved.
