1 collection site across 1 bank.
In Alaska: 1 walk-in bank site. Known-donor agencies work nationwide — including Alaska — so a directed match is an option even where no bank is within driving distance.
Alaska is on the verge of getting its first in-state sperm bank: Alpine Cryobank in Anchorage is opening soon. Until it starts collecting there's no operating walk-in site anywhere in the state — so for most Alaskans right now the realistic route is a nationwide known-donor agency.
Alpine Cryobank in Anchorage hasn't published its compensation yet — it's still pre-launch, so we flag the pay as unpublished rather than guess. It lists an 18–39 age range, some college, and no height minimum. Once it opens, expect the usual bank model: a deferred schedule with part of each payment held until samples clear the FDA's six-month quarantine.
Anchorage
Alpine Cryobank (opening soon — pay not yet published)
Anchorage will have the state's only site once Alpine opens. For the Interior, Southeast, and the Bush there's no drivable option — the nationwide known-donor route is the practical path.
A separate route from the walk-in banks above: directed / known-donor agencies match you to specific intended parents and work in all 50 states, including Alaska. The family pays a per-cycle fee ($5k–$100k), usually trait-priced and released from escrow after FDA clearance — not a monthly wage, so it doesn't sort against bank pay.
“MSM” = whether the agency welcomes gay/bisexual donors. Directed donation is exempt from the FDA anonymous-bank deferral, but only Seed Scout says so on its own pages — treat “Ask agency” as unconfirmed, not a no.
Bank or agency — how to choose
Legal note
Alaska (AS §25.20.045) treats a child conceived by artificial insemination with spousal consent as the couple's child, which is generally read to place a physician-facilitated donor outside legal parentage.
