Eligibility

The organisation is open to anyone in the world affected by infertility and ART. We started in France, however following a few requests for information from infertile couples from different countries, we decided to create this international branch. Please bear with us, while we develop the information for other countries. In the meantime, please sign up to our forum, where you will find frequently asked questions (and answers). 

Tax status

We do not issue tax receipts for two reasons. According to the French tax code (articles 200-1-b and 238 bis-l-a of the CGl):

• member subscriptions are never tax deductible,
• membership provides certain benefits to members: the discounts granted by the organisation's partners to its members exclude them from the principle of tax deductibility.
