Our Refer a Friend programme
We’re always looking for more people who want to make a difference for women and couples needing help to start a family. Our Refer a Friend programme is our way of saying thank you if you know someone who would make a great donor.
So how does it work? As a donor at European Sperm Bank, you can refer a friend. When your friend visits us for the first time, he informs us that he has been referred and provides us with your phone number. Once he has completed two tests, you will receive DKK 2,000. If your friend is not approved as a donor after the two tests, you will still receive your bonus.
You can refer up to two friends per month and you will receive your payment within four weeks, when your friend has visited us for the second time.
How to get started
Follow this link and book an appointment whenever it fits you.
When you visit us for the first time, remember to mention that you’ve been referred by a friend.
You’ll make a sperm sample at your first visit. If it is approved, we will invite you to the next steps.

MEET ONE OF OUR DONORS
Some women and couples cannot have children without help. They need people like you, who choose to make a difference, to start a family.
In this video, you will hear why one of our donors decided to become a sperm donor, what the experience has meant to him, and why it is one of the most rewarding things he has ever done.
Sperm donation is all about doing something meaningful for someone you’ll never meet, but who will never forget that it was someone like you who made it possible.
If you can, help those who can’t
Becoming a sperm donor is a powerful way to make a difference. Every donation has the potential to help others create the family they’ve always wanted.
More and more children around the world are born thanks to fertility treatment. Many of them with the help from a sperm donor.
But only 5–7% of those who apply are approved as donors. That means we need more people who have what it takes — people who see the value in giving others the chance to build the family they’ve always dreamed of.
