Sperm Donor Requirements and Eligibility

Becoming a sperm donor is a meaningful commitment, and we follow clear guidelines to protect your health and the families we serve. Donors are generally between the ages of 18 and 39, with a stable lifestyle and no significant untreated medical or mental health conditions. We look for candidates who are currently enrolled in or have completed college or university, or who demonstrate comparable education and life experience.

To ensure consistency and safety, donors should be able to meet the following requirements:

  • Live within a reasonable distance of our clinic or be able to attend appointments reliably over several months
  • Maintain a height and weight within a healthy range
  • Be willing to share detailed personal and family medical histories
  • Complete a series of health screenings, including:
    • Infectious disease testingGenetic carrier screening
    • Semen analysis
    • Periodic re-evaluations to ensure ongoing eligibility

Most importantly, ideal donors are dependable, honest, and comfortable with the long-term implications of donation. Your willingness to follow instructions, keep appointments, and communicate openly with our team is essential for a safe, ethical donation journey.

Compensation and Benefits

We believe sperm donors deserve to be recognized for their time, effort, and generosity. Donors receive competitive financial compensation for each approved donation, with the total potential earnings over the course of the program clearly outlined in advance. Payments are typically made on a regular schedule as donations are accepted, allowing you to plan around a predictable compensation structure.
Beyond financial compensation, donors receive comprehensive health evaluations at no cost, including fertility assessments, infectious disease testing, and advanced genetic screening that can provide valuable insight into your own health. These services are often expensive when obtained independently, but are included as part of your participation.

Perhaps the most meaningful benefit is the impact you make. As a sperm donor, you play a direct role in helping individuals and couples who cannot conceive on their own, including single parents by choice and LGBTQ+ families. Your contribution can become the missing piece that allows someone else’s dream of parenthood to become a reality.

Sperm Donation Process: Step-by-Step

The sperm donation journey begins in the form above with a simple online application. Here, you’ll share basic information about your health, lifestyle, and background so our team can determine whether you meet our initial criteria. If you’re a good fit, we’ll invite you for an in-person consultation where you’ll learn more about the program, ask questions, and understand what to expect from start to finish.

Next comes a thorough medical and genetic evaluation. This typically includes a physical exam, semen analysis, infectious disease testing, and genetic carrier screening. These steps are designed to protect both you and the families who may use your donated sperm.

Before donations begin, you’ll review and sign legal agreements that outline your rights and responsibilities as a donor, as well as how your information and samples may be used. Once everything is in place, you’ll follow a regular donation schedule at our clinic. We’ll provide clear guidelines on abstinence periods, appointment frequency, and clinic protocols, so you always know exactly what’s expected and can move through the process with confidence.

Confidentiality, Screening, and Donor Safety

Your privacy, safety, and long-term wellbeing are at the center of our donor program. We offer pathways that allow for either anonymous donation or identity-release (ID-option), depending on your comfort level and program guidelines. With identity-release options, certain information may be accessible to donor-conceived individuals at a specified age, while still protecting your privacy throughout the process. You’ll have the opportunity to discuss these options in detail and choose the path that’s right for you.

All donors undergo extensive screening to ensure the highest standards of safety. This includes comprehensive medical history reviews, physical exams, infectious disease testing, and genetic carrier screening to reduce the risk of passing on serious hereditary conditions. Screening is not a one-time event; donors are reevaluated periodically to make sure they continue to meet our medical and quality criteria.

Legal protections are also built into every stage of the process. Clear, carefully crafted legal agreements define your role as a donor, limit your legal and financial responsibilities to future children, and safeguard intended parents and donor-conceived families. Combined with strict confidentiality policies and secure record-keeping, these measures help ensure that your donation experience is ethical, safe, and respectful of everyone involved—now and in the future.
