Northeast Assisted Fertility Group, Inc., known as NAFG, is a for-profit egg donation and gestational surrogacy agency founded in 2006. Its main office is in Greenwich, Connecticut, with additional locations in Boston and New York. The agency describes itself as boutique and full-service, working with intended parents, donor egg recipients, egg donors and surrogates across the East Coast and nationwide.
NAFG says it is not a fertility clinic and performs no medical services itself. Instead, it coordinates with outside IVF clinics and assisted reproduction attorneys, handling matching and case coordination while medical and legal work is carried out by those independent professionals. According to its website, the agency deliberately keeps its practice small and prices surrogacy component by component rather than through package plans. Published fee and compensation figures appear further down this page.
The agency is led by co-founders Sanford M. Benardo and Katherine Benardo, who have been with it since its founding; Katherine Benardo has led the egg donor program since its inception. The team also includes a fertility nurse who serves as gestational carrier coordinator, along with additional coordinators and staff. The organization remains under its original ownership.
NAFG works with intended parents who are LGBTQ+, single, or living outside the United States. Surrogates are expected to be U.S. citizens or legal residents; detailed eligibility requirements, including age, prior pregnancy and non-smoking criteria, are listed in the table below.
