Frequently Asked Questions
Sperm donors must meet strict eligibility requirements including being between the ages of 18-39 years old, have a good physiological and psychological history, pass a genetic disease test, pass blood and urine tests (for STDs, HIV, and infectious diseases) and meet certain quality standards for sperm count, motility, and volume parameters. At this time, we can also only accept heterosexual males.
The Premier Sperm Donors organization wants you to know how much we appreciate the time and effort you are spending to become a donor. Therefore, we pay $150 per accepted donation plus offer a bonus of $150 when a 10-donation batch is achieved. Specifically, you will get paid $60 the day of the donation, $60 the next business day (with an approved sample) and $30 will go into your PSD bank for the quarantine period of six months. This compensation will help offset your expenses and show how much we appreciate you. If you donate around three times a week (10x a month) you could make $1,200 and when you close a batch of ten approved samples, you’ll add $150 of batch close bonus pay. At the end of six months, you will get the $300 banked money, once you complete a blood draw. So, you could be making up to $1,650 per month over time
What is the sperm donation process?
The process involves an application with a detailed medical history, genetic screening, sexually transmitted disease (STD) screening, semen analysis, counseling about the legal and ethical implications of your donation, and signing legal agreements. Accepted donors then make regular deposits (1-3 times per week) at our sperm donation facility in Santa Monica.
How often do I need to donate?
Donation frequency varies, but we require a commitment of at least one donation per week. Yes, it is true that some donors can give every day but that is uncommon. We want to ensure our donors can reach goals and achieve bonus pay in a timely manner. A closed batch equals ten approved donations.
Is the donation anonymous?
Premier Sperm Donors Santa Monica only accepts identity disclosure donors. Today it is very difficult for donors to be anonymous without great effort. An identity disclosure donation allows offspring to obtain the donor’s identity when they reach the age of 18. However, donors are always allowed to decline an invitation to meet or connect with their donor conceived children. Intended parents are not allowed to contact donors ever. With genetic testing, reverse photo lookups, and future inventions it is possible that anyone could be able to figure out your identity. Know that you always have the right to refuse contact and contact us immediately if they parents reach out to you. They have signed a contract with us agreeing not to do so.
What are the legal implications?
All Premier Sperm Donors relinquish parental rights and responsibilities through our legal contracts. You will never assume any financial responsibility for offspring conceived through your donations.
What are the medical requirements?
Donors undergo testing for infectious diseases like HIV, hepatitis, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. A complete medical history screening with a nurse for physical health, mental health with a counselor, genetic screening, and a sperm quality analysis are also required.
What is the time commitment?
The initial application and screening processes can take a few weeks. Once accepted, regular donations are scheduled around your availability, usually about 1-2 hours per week if you can give three times. Once per week would be around 30 minutes or less.
How long can I be a donor?
There are varying time frames depending on each donor’s ability. Some do it for a few months others give for 2 years. There is an age cutoff at 40 years of age and a maximum number of vials so that we limit potential offspring from any single donor to approximately 25 families. The caveat here is that people do not always report, so it can be difficult to have perfect data.
Will my information be kept private?
Yes, all donor information is kept strictly confidential. For more information please see our privacy and terms of use policies.
If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us by phone, email, or chat on our website. We are always happy to answer any question you may have about this process.
