There are many reasons to become a sperm donor. Most of our donors report that they want the satisfaction of helping others start or grow their families. Other benefits such as financial reimbursement and free medical and genetic screenings offered by Cascade Cryobank are motivating factors as well.

To become a donor at Cascade Cryobank, you must first complete an online application.

We ask our donors to abstain for at least 48-72 hours prior to making a donation. Additionally, keeping yourself healthy and hydrated can also assist in higher sperm counts. Avoiding excessive use of substances and hot tubs or baths is recommended as well.

Once you have submitted the online application, one of our team members will perform an initial screening to check your eligibility. If you are qualified to be a donor, we will contact your through your preferred method of communication. You then can come in and provide an initial “test” sample which will be analyzed by our physician. If you pass the initial screening, you will then get a blood test done, a physical with our doctor, and a medical history interview.

Our donors typically donate between 1-3 times a week. We find that this is a good way to efficiently complete the program, while also maintaining a high cell count due to enough abstinence time between donations.

For your initial two “test” donations, you will receive $40 each. Once you are accepted into the program, each acceptable donation will be worth $125. At the time of the donation, you will receive $50 and if your sample passes the freeze/thaw test you will receive an additional $50 the day after your donation. An additional $25 will be set aside in an account and be given to you after a 6-month quarantine period (required by the FDA) has passed and your return for a blood draw. Once cleared from infectious diseases you will receive the quarantine release money (typically $250 for 10 donations). We also offer an additional bonus of $150 if you can provide 10 good samples per month/30 days. In time, donors can make up to $1400 per month with 10 good samples per month, that batch close bonus and the six-month quarantine money.

Yes – donors who make more than $600 in a calendar year will receive a 1099 to file their taxes with.

Your donations are used by people who are looking to start or expand their families.
