Today, we announce an exciting new partnership with the Military Family Building Coalition (MFBC) to support the fertility goals of America’s Naval Special Warfare community (NSW), including the Navy SEALs. Our aim is to address the challenges military members face in their journey to parenthood due to their service by providing vital access to family planning care. The NSW community represents a military group with an amplified need for this program, due to their challenging warfare demands and operational tempo. Fertility and family building challenges include exposures that can impact fertility, such as environmental chemicals and general warfare risks, as well as frequent separations from partners and families.

Legacy’s philanthropic offer to NSW operators (including SEALs, Special Warfare Combatant Craft Crewman and Explosive Ordnance Demolition personnel) includes free access to Legacy’s privacy-protected, at-home sperm testing with one year of complimentary cryopreservation service. The partnership begins July 1.

This offer was made possible by MFBC, the first organization exclusively dedicated to supporting active-duty military with challenges around fertility and family building. Through this unique collaboration between a non-profit and a rapidly growing start-up, the two organizations are taking action on the important need for frequently deploying troops to preserve their fertility, as Congress has struggled to pass funding for this essential care.
