The benefits of finding a sperm donor in California

California is a popular destination for intended parents looking for a sperm donor. Intended parents can expect to find:

  • A wide range of high-quality donors

  • A diverse donor population, given California’s reputation as the largest and most diverse state in the nation

  • A robust pool of top-tier fertility clinics, reproductive attorneys, and other resources

How California screens sperm donors

Donor Concierge’s vetted California donor agencies all follow the strict standards and guidelines set forth by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), and our own Donor Concierge standards.

Sperm donors must meet the following requirements:


  • Be between the ages of 21 and 39

  • Have a healthy family history with no hereditary diseases or addictions

  • Pass FDA protocols for semen analysis, psychological testing, and infectious disease screening

  • Have minimal genetic conditions

  • Be college-educated

Navigating California sperm donor costs

Sperm donor costs vary on several factors, including location, choice of donor, and which fertility clinic you use. On average, these costs generally fall between $4,000 to $40,000 and include payment for:

  • Sperm bank cost per vial

  • Donor agency fees

  • Donor compensation

  • Costs for medical processes, including psychological screening and insurance

  • Legal fees

  • Other expenses

Navigating the costs associated with a donor journey can feel overwhelming. However, there are options available to help make the process easier to afford. Some of these options include fertility treatment loans and grants.

Speak to your Donor Concierge case manager about resources, budgets, and expenses related to your California donor.

Sperm Donation FAQs

Can you guarantee you'll find me a sperm donor?

We cannot guarantee that you will find a match, but we can guarantee we will provide you with all available candidates who meet your criteria at the time of your search. We can also proudly share that our case managers have a 95% match rate and will provide one of the most extensive searches available to anyone on a donor search path.

Should I tell my child that they were conceived using donor sperm?

It’s a very personal choice to decide to tell your child that they were conceived using donor sperm. The general recommendation is to tell your child when you think they are ready. Although conversations with your child about their donor origins may seem overwhelming, many available resources can help ease the process, including books, support groups, counseling, and The Donor Sibling Registry.

Will my baby look like me if I use a sperm donor?

We do our best to match you with donors who look like they could be a part of your extended family. Maybe a cousin, or a sibling. During your Donor Concierge intake process, you will share pictures of yourself, your partner, and your family with your case manager so that they can keep your physical appearance in mind when curating your potential donors. While no one can guarantee what a baby will look like once they are born (not even families who are conceiving through traditional means), our team will prioritize matching you with donors to whom you feel a connection and resemblance.
