Finding a Sperm Donor

Decidedly Not a Sperm Bank

JUST ONE PHOTO?

At Elevate, we aren’t a sperm bank that believes one childhood photo should be enough—especially for discerning clients making one of the most meaningful decisions of their lives. While egg donor profiles often feature dozens of photos, sperm donor profiles have long lagged behind in transparency and access. We think it’s time to change that.

Our approach is different. We provide an extensive selection of high-quality adult photos, baby photos, and even family images so you can get a true sense of your donor—not just his genetics, but his presence, personality, and potential connection to your future child.

Alongside our medically and psychologically vetted profiles, you’ll also receive in-depth personality questionnaires, lifestyle insights, and our signature concierge-level support. That means real humans—experienced professionals—available to answer questions, guide your choices, and accommodate special requests, including additional photos when available.

We believe your sperm donor selection should feel just as intentional, supported, and empowered as choosing an egg donor. And at Elevate, it does.

THIS ISN’T Picky.
This IS PERSONAL.

At Elevate, we don’t believe in shaming preference—we believe in honoring it. Choosing a sperm donor isn’t about settling. It’s about feeling that spark. That moment of clarity when you see him—the one who reflects your values, your aspirations, your excellence. For the brilliant, accomplished individuals and couples we serve, it makes perfect sense to want a donor who feels like a match—not just on paper, but in spirit.

Whether you’re searching for a donor with Ivy League credentials, a towering frame, a shared cultural or religious background, or simply someone whose smile reminds you of your partner’s—your preferences are never too much. They’re yours. And we’re here to meet them with meticulous care and discretion.

Our global search is highly curated, and yes—exceptional donors are rare. That’s why we go the extra mile to find them. Every profile in our database has been hand-selected and thoroughly vetted to meet the high standards our clients expect.

If you don’t see your perfect match today, let us know what you’re looking for. We’ll keep your preferences on file and alert you the moment someone extraordinary enters our screening process. First look, first choice.

You’ve never settled for less—and this is no exception.

Elevate/FDA requirements:

Your donor will complete a full suite of screenings to meet FDA regulations and Elevate’s elevated standards. This includes a comprehensive physical exam, psychological evaluation, semen analysis, genetic counseling, and an advanced genetic panel (via Invitae, Sema4, or Counsyl). He’ll also be tested for all major STDs through a full infectious disease panel.

For non-directed donations, the sperm is quarantined and the donor is retested six months later, per FDA guidelines. In directed donations, that additional testing period is not required.

In accordance with guidelines from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), sperm donors must be between 18 and 39 years old. However, to ensure the highest standards of sperm quality and long-term health outcomes, Elevate sets a more conservative age limit, typically capping eligibility at 34 or 35.

The medical screening is a comprehensive evaluation of your donor’s overall health. It includes measurements such as height, weight, and blood pressure, along with a full physical exam. Blood and urine samples are collected to run the FDA-required infectious disease panel, which screens for a wide range of conditions—including sexually transmitted infections—to ensure the highest standards of safety and compliance.

Donors provide a sample in a private, comfortable setting at a certified clinic. The sample is then evaluated in a laboratory to assess sperm count, motility (movement), morphology (shape), and overall quality. This ensures that all potential donors meet the highest medical standards before moving forward in the process.

Genetic carrier screening is performed using a blood or saliva sample to determine whether a donor carries any inheritable genetic conditions. The screening looks for hundreds of potential conditions—many of which may not present symptoms in the donor—ensuring the highest level of safety and transparency for your future family.

As part of the screening process, donors are required to provide detailed medical history for at least two previous generations of their family. This helps identify any patterns that may suggest a hereditary condition. While not all medical history concerns are disqualifying, a significant family history of genetic disease may make someone ineligible to donate. Our goal is to prioritize the long-term health and well-being of any future children.

Psychological screening is a vital part of the donor evaluation process. Donors meet with a licensed mental health professional who assesses emotional well-being, mental health history, and overall readiness to participate. The evaluation also explores the donor’s motivations and ensures a clear understanding of the legal, ethical, and emotional aspects of donation. All assessments are conducted in accordance with guidelines set by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) and the Society for Ethics in Egg Donation and Surrogacy (SEEDS), ensuring every donor meets the highest standards of care and responsibility.
