Sperm banks collect sperm from donors that will later be used to help an individual or couple have a child. People who use donor sperm include single women and lesbian couples, couples in which the man is sterile, or couples who are trying to avoid passing on a genetic disorder carried by male sperm.
Who's Eligible: Men must typically be between the ages of 18 and 45 and pass testing for genetically linked diseases, communicable disease, drug abuse, and general health. Some sperm banks also require that men have attended at least two years at a four-year university.
In order to be approved as a donor, the semen must meet minimum sperm count levels, as sperm is frozen before use and some sperm are lost during this time. Reportedly, only 1 percent to 2 percent of men who apply as donors will be accepted.
Sperm banks typically ask men who are accepted as donors to sign a contract committing to one or two sperm donations a week, for at least six months.
What it Pays: It varies by sperm bank, but typically between $35-$65 per specimen. Payment may be withheld for six months (during which time the specimen is frozen and then retested for disease).
Resources: You should only donate sperm to a state-licensed sperm bank to ensure that your sperm will be used ethically.
