Compensation
You deserve to be generously recognized
Ovita is not a regular sperm bank. We accept only the most exceptional candidates — fewer than 1% of applicants — and we compensate them accordingly. First-time donors start at $3,000, with total compensation varying based on donor type, eligibility for frozen vials, and background.
All medical expenses, screening costs, and legal fees are covered in full. Your compensation is yours, unconditionally.

Donation Type
Anonymous vs. direct donation
One of the most personal decisions you will make as a donor is whether to remain anonymous or be open to being known. Both are valid — and both are fully supported by Ovita.
🔒
Anonymous Donation
Your identity is never disclosed to the recipient family or any child born from your donation. You contribute privately, with full confidentiality maintained throughout and after the program.
✓
Your name and personal details remain fully private
✓
No future contact or relationship with recipient(s) or donor-conceived children
✓
You need to donate to sperm bank via Ovita
✓
Required follow-up visit 6 months after initial donation based on FDA requirements
🤝
Open-Identity Donation
You agree to allow donor-conceived children to access your identity once they reach adulthood — typically age 18. This gives children the option to learn about their origins if they choose, while still protecting your privacy during the donation period.
✓
Your identity will be shared with recipient
✓
No obligation to have a relationship
✓
Full legal framework in place before any cycle begins no need to have another test in 6 months
✓
Increasingly preferred by families building donor-conceived families
Your preference is discussed during your initial consultation. You can ask questions and take time to decide — there is no pressure either way.

Genetic contribution and what it means
Your sperm carries your DNA. Children born from your donations will be genetically related to you, though not raised by you. Many donors find it helpful to reflect on this with a counselor before proceeding.

Is the process private?
Yes. All donations are collected in a private, comfortable room. Your identity is kept confidential unless you choose an open-identity arrangement.
Can I remain anonymous?
Yes. Ovita offers both anonymous and open-identity donation. We will explain all options during your consultation so you can choose what feels right.
What are the health requirements?
You must be in good general health, non-smoker, free of genetic conditions, and meet height/weight standards. We screen for infectious diseases and genetic markers.
