To be a donor you must have a healthy BMI and a good medical, mental health, and genetic family history. You must live a healthy lifestyle, which includes no drug use, no smoking or vaping, and not taking medications not prescribed to you by a primary physician. You must also be practicing safe sex to prevent STDs and be a person of good moral character.
Our intended parents prefer donors who have completed, or are currently pursuing, a Bachelor’s degree or higher, or who serve as military personnel, firefighters, or EMTs.

Types of Contact
Coast to Coast Sperm Donation is an FDA-registered sperm bank, licensed in NY,CO and CA, that has frozen donor sperm vials available, and arranges directed sperm donor matching between donors and recipient families. We focus on transparency, mutual connection and a healthy outcome for all. We offer three types of sperm donation arrangements to meet the needs of donors, recipients and donor-conceived persons. At a minimum, all donors agree to disclose their identity to donor conceived persons at 18.
Identified
Full names and contact information are shared between parties. Many identified donors are open to meeting recipient families and staying in touch, though never expected to become a ‘parent’ to a donor-conceived person.
Semi Identified
You and the recipient family do not share full names at the time of donation but agree to share limited contact information after donation or upon a confirmed pregnancy.
Identity Disclosure
All donors agree to this at minimum. Your identity is disclosed to donor-conceived persons when they reach adulthood (age 18) if requested by the donor-conceived person.
What Our Donors Say
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I become a sperm donor?
The first step is to complete your online application. When your application is successful, you will be contacted by a member of Coast to Coast Sperm Donation.
What are the requirements to become a sperm donor?
You must be between the ages of 21 and 38 to be considered eligible for donation. You need a Body Mass Index (BMI) within the range of 19 to 28. Being legally allowed to work in the U.S. is another requirement. Both physical and mental well-being are important, requiring potential donors to be in good overall health. Non-smoking for at least six months is necessary, as smoking can have adverse effects on sperm quality. Drug use is also strictly prohibited, and you must have no criminal record. You should be free from any sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
How is your program different from a sperm bank?
Traditional sperm banks operate largely in anonymity, and some donors have discovered they have over 100 genetic offspring. We think that’s a problem. Coast to Coast is not a traditional sperm bank. We facilitate directed matches between donors and recipient families, cap donations at six family units worldwide, and require all donors to agree to identity disclosure when the donor-conceived person turns 18. Our model puts donor-conceived people first.
What types of sperm donation do you facilitate?
We facilitate three types of donation arrangements: Identified, Identity Disclosure, and Semi-Identified. We place a limit of six families per donor and offer flexibility for donors who wish to be known to recipients, participate in identity disclosure, or remain limited to a small number of families. Until a match is confirmed, donors are identified only by a number.
We’ll soon introduce the option to freeze vials, allowing donors to contribute without needing to wait for a match. Donors will still have the chance to speak with recipients, and the six-family limit will continue to apply.
What is an identity disclosed donor?
An identity disclosed donor is someone who agrees that their full name may be shared with a donor-conceived individual once that person turns 18, confirms a genetic connection, and formally requests the information. In many countries, this disclosure is mandatory by law. In the U.S., the details disclosed may include name, phone number, last known address, and email, depending on state laws.
Identity information is only shared upon request and after verifying the child’s genetic link. Donors are notified before any disclosure, but if they can’t be reached within 30 days, the information may still be provided. Donors are responsible for keeping their contact information up to date if they wish to be informed when a request is made.
What are my legal rights as a sperm donor?
Sperm donors do not have legal parental rights, as the intended parents do not desire the donor to have any parental responsibilities towards the child.
Can a sperm donor be anonymous?
Simply put, anonymity is no longer guaranteed to any donor. In this day of DNA testing. social media, and facial recognition software, a donor may be found despite the intent of the parties. Any person who doesn’t want to have his identity disclosed to the donor conceived person should not be a donor. We encourage our donors to understand what identity disclosure means and to control the narrative of ‘when’ his information will be disclosed to the donor conceived person. We require our donors to agree to sign a disclosure of identity agreement, which means when the child reaches age 18, he/she provides proof of the DNA connection and makes the request for the disclosure of information then the donor’s identity will be disclosed.
How much time does a donation require?
The process of donating sperm through a local clinic usually takes 10 to 15 hours in total. However, it may take a few weeks to receive medical or genetic test results before a donor is fully approved and the donation can begin. Donors who need to travel may complete some testing locally and then travel for the actual specimen donation. All travel-related expenses such as flights, hotel, ground transportation, and meal allowance are covered in addition to donor compensation.
How much do I get paid?
Donors set their own compensation, which generally ranges from $5,000 to $10,000 per donation cycle, plus travel expenses if you need to travel for any part of the process. Compensation is paid out by milestone: including pre-screening, travel, donation, and final FDA screening.
When will I get paid?
The compensation is generally paid out at various milestones, such as the completion of the prescreening sperm analysis, genetic testing and infectious disease testing, criminal and civil background check and psychological evaluation. The donor receives the majority of funds once the donation occurs and the follow up (mandatory) FDA testing is completed.
Where will I donate?
We work together with local clinics throughout the U.S. Donations will be for particular families at a clinic of the parents’ choosing. All travel expenses will be paid.
Does a donor have to agree to meet the child in the future?
No, there is never an obligation for a donor to meet a child.
Will I be notified of the birth of any child resulting from my donation?
We believe every donor should be informed if their donation resulted in a birth for purposes of their own family planning, but this is not required. The specific terms of whether or when that information is shared will be determined at the time of match and included in the legal agreement between recipient and donor. As an agency, we require families to provide birth details and updated medical or genetic information that may affect any future children of the donor. We will notify the donor if we learn of any medical or genetic condition that could impact his own children, and we ask donors to inform us if they become aware of anything that could affect a donor-conceived child.
What happens to any unused sperm?
Depending on how much of the donated specimen is needed for a recipient to achieve pregnancy, the vials may be frozen for future pregnancy attempts or for having additional genetically related children. Due to the six-family unit policy, recipients agree that any unused sperm is destroyed once their family-building is complete, unless all parties agree otherwise. It is not to be donated to other families.
