Personal and contact information
"WHAT?! HAVE YOU BECOME A SPERM DONOR?"
There are women and couples who can’t have children without help. And then there are those who make a difference.
That’s what sperm donation is all about: doing something extraordinary for someone you’ll never meet - but who will never forget that it was someone like you who made it possible.
If you have what it takes, why not use it to help those who need help build the family of their dreams? Your time is valued - and you’ll be compensated for your donation.
THAT'S EXACTLY THE POINT!
Becoming a sperm donor is a powerful way to make a difference - helping others create the family they’ve always dreamed of. Yet it’s still met with questions and doubts from people who don’t quite grasp what it’s really about.
“So does that make you a dad?” they ask.
But as a sperm donor, your role is entirely different. You give someone the chance to become a parent - without being part of that family yourself. And that’s exactly the point.
This campaign is here to change the conversation. It’s about the life-changing impact of
sperm donation, the myths that still linger - and the respect our donors truly deserve.
IF YOU CAN, HELP THOSE WHO CAN’T
Today, an increasing number of children are born thanks to fertility treatment - many of them with the help of a sperm donor.
Yet only 5–7 % of those who apply to become a donor are ever approved. That’s not many - and it means the need has never been greater.
That’s why we need more people who have what it takes - more people who see the value in helping others build a family.
And yes, you’ll of course be compensated for your time and effort.
A crucial difference
You can help women and couples all over the world to have a child. To them, your help is crucial.
Compensation
Once you are qualified as a donor you will be compensated €40 for each approved donation.
Health check
You will receive a free, thorough health check, genetic analysis and regular STD screening.
WHO YOU’RE HELPING
As a sperm donor, you help women and couples who dream of having a child - but can’t do it without someone like you.
It might be a heterosexual couple struggling with infertility, a lesbian couple hoping to start a family together, a single parent by choice - or someone with a completely different story.
They all share one thing: a deep desire to create a family.
