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 nationwide, including Indiana. Each agency's per-cycle figure is on its profile. 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.
