Welcome to the first step in providing the Gift of Family!

Donating sperm to someone who needs a little help having a baby is not just about money but also about lending a hand to those who need some help creating a family.

While the job is not demanding, our donor standards are. We accept less than 5% of interested donor applicants. In order to get started, please complete and submit the Online Donor Application. We require that you be between the ages of 18 and 39 and be able to vist our offices at minimum once a week. Most importantly, you will need to pass our rigourous criteria of physical, genetic and mental tests.

What happens at the first visit?
At your first visit, you will be asked to review and sign our Donor Contract as well as donate your first sample. The following day we will contact you to discuss the quality of the specimen. We suggest that you not be discouraged if your first sample is not a good quality. There are many factors that can impact the quality of semen including stress, hydration, sexual activity, etc. We will ask you to come back and donate another two samples. If at the third sample the quality of your specimen does not meet the Cryos Standard, we will have to reject your application.

When will I get paid?
As soon as you have donated the first 10 approved samples.

How do I produce the best possible sample?
To provide good quality specimens, we suggest that you refrain from sexual activity, heavy drinking of alcohol, and smoking for at least 48 hours prior to donating. Our donors have commented that good hydration has improved their specimen quality as well.

The Cryos Standard looks at the motility of your sperm (how well your sperm swims), your sperm count, your family and personal medical histories, and your psychological outlook among other aspects. You must be able to visit our office in the New York Financial District no less than once a week. Our hours for donations are between 2 p.m and 4:00 p.m., Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. We  require a minimum of a one-year commitment.

You must be able to supply us with in-depth medical histories from both sides of your biological family. You need to have no on-going or chronic health issues. Federal, state and international health regulations require us to reject applicants who have ever been exposed to, or infected with, the following: hepatitis B and/or C; HIV; HTLV; genital herpes; genital warts; syphilis.

Along with your initial interview, the purpose of this first visit will be to provide us with a semen sample by masturbating alone in a comfortable, private room designed for this purpose. We analyze all samples for sperm count, motility, forward progression, morphology and freezing traits.

If your samples exhibit the required characteristics, we will begin our comprehensive screening process. The screening takes about two weeks and includes testing for genetic diseases and STD’s, medical examinations, and psychological profiling. There is no payment during this process.

Once accepted, you will need to visit our office at least once a week. You will be paid for the first time after you have donated 10 usable samples. As an approved donor you will need to give us a blood test every three months, and you will receive an annual physical examination for as long as you remain an active donor. (These procedures are free to you.) Our donors earn on average between $40 and $100 per visit for their time. Donors can earn less or more than this range depending on the quality of sperm donated.
