Pinterest Will Now Provide Employee Benefits for Adoption, Surrogacy

The company had already been providing parental leave of 16 weeks off and a four-week transition, as well as fertility benefits of up to $20,000

Pinterest announced some benefits changes Monday that will ease the path to parenthood for its employees.

Starting July 1, all Pinterest employees will have access to up to $5,000 in net benefits toward adoption and up to $20,000 toward surrogacy, with those benefits covering “everything from travel to agency and legal fees, and any other related expenses.”

The company had already been providing parental leave of 16 weeks off and a four-week transition, as well as fertility benefits of up to $20,000.

Pinterest head of diversity and inclusion Candice Morgan explained the move in a blog post:

We’re always working on building our culture around our mission of helping people discover and do what they love—take for example our internal conference, Knit Con, where employees teach each other special skills over two days.
