Established in 1974, RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association, is dedicated to fighting for all those who face challenges in their family-building journey. The organization works to help people reach a resolution through being empowered by knowledge, supported by community, united by advocacy and inspired to act.

Community
The RESOLVE community consists of those struggling to grow their family as well as allies who support their effort to grow their family. The infertility community consists of those using assisted reproductive technologies (ART) such as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) as well as those growing their family through surrogacy and adoption, and those who are childless not by choice

History
RESOLVE was founded in 1974 in Belmont, MA around a kitchen table by Barbara Eck, a nurse experiencing her own struggle Since then, RESOLVE has expanded to nationwide throughout the U.S. Since 1974, RESOLVE has worked with legislators around the United States, including Wisconsin, Colorado, Oregon, California, Washington  and more to help bring legislation to the fore that would help cover the cost of fertility treatments.

Since the US Supreme Court overturned in 2022, several states have introduced abortion bans that could have additional repercussions for assisted reproductive technology, such as IVF. RESOLVE has turned its attention to combating anti-IVF legislation.
