Open

Grant
Last updated: 14.6.2025

The State of Hesse supports couples with unfulfilled desires for children in financing the 4th treatment cycle of In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). This funding is designed for both heterosexual and same-sex couples who have their main residence in Hesse. They receive a subsidy for the remaining out-of-pocket costs to fulfill their wish for a child.

Who is Funded

The funding program "Assisted Reproduction Measures" in Hesse is aimed at couples with unfulfilled desires for children who have their main residence in Hesse. It supports both heterosexual and same-sex couples, as well as couples with transgender persons, in undergoing fertility treatments, particularly for the fourth treatment cycle.

What is Funded

The funding program supports assisted reproduction measures, particularly the fourth treatment cycle of In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). Only incurred treatment expenses are subsidized.

Type and Scope of Funding

Funding is provided as a non-repayable grant and co-financing of out-of-pocket costs. The amount of the subsidy varies depending on the type of couple and treatment, with clear maximum amounts per cycle.

Conditions and Requirements

The funding is subject to various prerequisites, including main residence in Hesse and clarification of cost coverage by health insurance. Certain age limits and specifications regarding the origin of the egg and sperm cells used also apply.

Application Procedure

The application for funding must be submitted in writing or electronically to the Regierungspräsidium Gießen, specifically before the fourth treatment cycle begins. After completion of the treatment, the corresponding invoices and proofs must be submitted for accounting.

The funding for assisted reproduction measures in Hesse is based on a specific guideline of the State of Hesse, which is closely linked to budgetary regulations and a federal guideline. These legal bases define the conditions and framework for granting subsidies.
