Making parenthood possible.
Coast to Coast Sperm Donation helps individuals and couples who need a sperm donor to fulfill their dream of parenthood.
As a sperm donor agency, we act as the liaison between clinics, intended parents and sperm donors.
We carefully recruit a diverse selection of highly qualified sperm donors who meet the strict criteria of your fertility clinic. We get to know our donors and provide you with detailed profiles and photographs so you can learn about their background, interests, and personalities, to help you create a meaningful connection.
The Coast to Coast team is here to assist you every step of the way. We will work closely with you to understand your unique needs and preferences and provide personalized support and guidance throughout the process.

"My passion for family building comes from my deeply personal experience having my daughter, Kaitlin, through gestational surrogacy. My desire to help others led me to create and build A Perfect Match into one of the most professional and ethical egg donor and surrogacy agencies in the U.S. Coast to Coast Sperm Donation is a natural progression into a space that meets the needs of those building their family but is ripe for transformation. We need to change the narrative around sperm donation and create families based on transparency, connection, and ethics."
— Darlene Pinkerton, Co-Founder
"It’s an honor to carry on the legacy that my parents created through A Perfect Match so many years ago. Coast to Coast Sperm Donation has been my passion project since 2016 and I'm thrilled that we are blazing a trail in a space that has traditionally been surrounded by secrecy and mistrust. Coast to Coast Donation, LLC continues our dedication to creating a gold standard experience with a commitment to ethical standards of practice that put donor-conceived persons at the forefront of our mission.
— Kaitlin Pinkerton-Locher, Co-Founder and CEO
Types of donation.
Coast to Coast Sperm Donation arranges directed sperm donor matching between donors and recipient families focused on transparency, mutual connection and a healthy outcome for all. We offer three types of sperm donation arrangements to meet the needs of donors, recipients and donor-conceived persons. At a minimum, all donors agree to release their identity to donor conceived persons at 18. Many are very open to connecting before that time.
Frozen donor sperm vials now available!
Identity-Release
All Coast to Coast Sperm Donation donors agree to Identity Release to be part of our program. In this situation, donors agree to release their identity to adult donor-conceived persons. While intended parents and donors do not share personal information when matching, they may use an alias or id number to identify each other in the legal agreements. Donors agree to provide regular medical updates.
Semi or Limited Identified
Semi identified donation is when intended parents and the donor agree to remain non-identified at the time of match but will share limited personal contact and identifying information once the donation is completed or there is a known pregnancy/birth. Donors will continue to provide medical updates and will be available for identity release to donor-conceived people of legal age.
Identified
Identified Donation is between parties who may not know one another previously but agree to share some or all identifying and contact information with one another during the process. This generally means full names are shared. Many donors are very happy to meet with recipient families and agree to future contact and to provide regular medical updates.
Donor compensation and fees.
Our donors are currently donating to one family at a time through a directed donation arrangement. They are compensated for their time, effort and commitment to the process both at match and for future contact.

Frequently asked questions.
The sperm donation process can be complex. Read our FAQs and get all the answers you need about sperm donation.
At Coast to Coast Sperm Donation, our focus is on the well-being of donor-conceived individuals, guided by ethics, transparency, and the potential for meaningful connections between donors, recipients, and the children. We believe anonymity isn’t possible, so all donors must agree to identity release when the child turns 18. However, donors aren’t obligated to meet or support the child. Unlike other banks, we limit matches to SIX families worldwide, giving donors and recipients more control over family creation.
Sperm banks follow the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) guideline of 25 births per 800,000 people. In the U.S. alone there are more than 300 million people and this guideline could result in dozens of unknown genetically related children from one donor. In fact, some donors have discovered they have over 100 genetic offspring! Donor conceived persons have concerns about the potential for genetic-related individuals unknowingly meeting or forming relationships, and they have advocacy groups seeking to lower limits. We agree with their concerns. We want to change this. Sperm banks can and do sell to more than 25 family units in the U.S. and many ship all over the world but Coast to Coast proactively limits matches to six family units per donor worldwide. We track every direct match or sale of vials and will stop distributing when our limit of six family units is met. It’s just good practice, for everyone.
A sperm donor must be of legal age, no older than 38, within normal BMI and 5’8” or taller. He must have good medical, mental health, and genetic family history. He must live a healthy lifestyle, must not have any drug or alcohol issues, must not smoke or vape, must not take medications not prescribed to him by a primary physician, and must practice safe sex techniques to prevent STDs. While not mandatory, most intended parents prefer the donor is in college or has a college education. Our donors come from all ethnic backgrounds.
The average compensation paid to a first-time donor is $5-10,000, plus expenses if the donor has to travel. We will present every reasonable offer to the donor and allow the donor to make his own decision regarding compensation. Although Coast to Coast will help facilitate compensation negotiations between the parties, it is the donor and intended parents who must make all final decisions.
Any money collected for donor compensation is held in a separate trust account, paid out by milestone such as: completion of pre-screening (sperm analysis, genetic and psychological testing), completed travel, completion of donation, final FDA screening.
Donor compensation is NOT reliant on successful outcome.
We regularly add new donors to our online database. We remove those who have matched with their desired number of families or no longer wish to donate. To ensure the accuracy of our sperm donor database information, we don’t add new donors until we have received their completed profiles, genetic questionnaire, FDA questionnaire, photos, and verification of personal identity and education.
