Sperm donor pay in Indiana

1 collection site across 1 bank, $1,200/month.

In Indiana: 1 walk-in bank site. Known-donor agencies work nationwide — including Indiana — so a directed match is an option even where no bank is within driving distance.

Indiana's single site is Cryomate in Indianapolis. It's a smaller regional bank, but it pays a solid $1,200 a month — more than the national banks offer in most single-site states — in exchange for stricter entry.

Cryomate in Indianapolis advertises about $1,200 a month, higher than Fairfax or Cryobio pay in neighboring states. It asks for a 5'7" minimum height and some college, and pays on a deferred schedule with part held in escrow until samples clear the FDA's six-month quarantine. The figure assumes consistent attendance.

Known-donor & directed agencies (nationwide)

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 Indiana. 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

  • Want steady, local income? Use a walk-in bank above — a recurring wage over a 6–12 month commitment, if a site is within driving distance.
  • No bank nearby, or want a bigger one-time sum? A known-donor agency pays a larger per-cycle fee and works anywhere in Indiana.
  • Gay or bisexual? Directed donation is the practical route — the FDA anonymous-bank MSM deferral doesn't apply when the recipient knowingly accepts you.

Legal note

Indiana relies on case law and clinical consent practice rather than a single donor statute; sperm provided through a licensed physician is generally treated as terminating the donor's parental rights.
