Our Story
Cascade Cryobank was founded in response to the unmet need for safe, high-quality donor sperm that has emerged recently. Our mission is to recruit outstanding donors to produce frozen sperm of exceptional quality for use by families and individuals pursuing assisted reproductive care.
We began collecting sperm in 2022, and have continued to grow our supply while recruiting a diverse group of highly qualified donors who meet our rigorous selection criteria. Sperm specimens are prepared in accordance with a quality management program that ensures the safety and maximizes the efficacy of our frozen cells. Our first routine FDA inspection in the Fall of 2022 was a benchmark of success that served as an external validation of our comprehensive quality management program. In 2026, Cascade Cryobank became part of Fertio - a collective of brands, including European Sperm Bank, working together to make the path to parenthood easier and set new standards in fertility care through shared expertise and collaboration.

Whenever possible, we try to minimize additional costs for you and never have any hidden fees. Our approach to transparency and affordability has led us to keep all of our donor profiles free and offer low-cost shipping options.
Rigorous Donor Screening
Cascade Cryobank has a robust donor screening process that is designed to eliminate potential donors who are unable to meet our high standards. We screen for personal and family health history, intelligence, character, and optimal sperm quality. Our donors go through multiple checkpoints which help us evaluate their eligibility. The donor selection process begins with one of our team members pre-screening the donors to ensure both a high quality samples and backgrounds. The donors undergo advanced genetic testing, thorough medical screening by our physician, criminal and educational background checks, personality tests, mental health screening and intensive interviews. We want our recipients to confidently know that they are receiving the very best of our applicants.
Accreditations
Cascade Cryobank is fully accredited, certified, registered, inspected, and/or licensed by the FDA, CLIA, and Washington State Department of Health. We utilize reference laboratories for donor infectious disease and advanced genetic testing. These reference laboratories are registered with the FDA, licensed by applicable state regulatory agencies, and accredited by CLIA. As required by 21 CFR 1271.55 (a)(3), Cascade Cryobank includes a Summary of Records that documents the tests performed on the donor and an interpretation of the results with each shipment of donor sperm.
Offspring Limit
Although regulatory agencies have yet to define donor offspring limits, Cascade Cryobank has set an internal policy dictating that a single donor can only contribute to 25 families worldwide. We also take extra care to follow country-specific requirements for internationally distributed donors. It is important to note that this is a family limit so number of siblings/offspring may vary. For example, if a recipient parent was to have two children using the same donor's sperm, they would still only count as one family per our limit.
