1 open collection site at California Cryobank, $2,400.
In Massachusetts: 1 open walk-in bank site. Known-donor agencies work nationwide — including Massachusetts — so a directed match is an option even where no bank is within driving distance.
Massachusetts has a single collection site — but it's a strong one: California Cryobank in Cambridge, the highest-paying sperm bank in the country. Greater Boston donors get the top national ceiling; there's no in-state alternative, so the real question is whether you can reach Cambridge regularly.
California Cryobank in Cambridge advertises up to $2,400 a month, the highest ceiling in the US. The catch is how it pays: biweekly by check rather than same-day walk-out cash, and only at near-perfect attendance. Part of every payment is held in escrow until your samples clear the FDA quarantine, so early-month take-home is well below the headline.
Greater Boston
California Cryobank, Cambridge ($2,400/mo — highest in the US)
Cambridge is the only site in Massachusetts. Worcester (36 mi) and Springfield (75 mi) donors face real drives with no closer in-state option — for western Massachusetts the nationwide known-donor route is often more practical.
A separate route from the walk-in banks above: directed / known-donor agencies match you to specific intended parents and work nationwide, including Massachusetts. 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.

Requirements vary by bank. Age, height, and education on this page come from each bank's directory record. The main bottleneck is biological: whether your sample survives the freeze/thaw process.
Yes. Walk-in banks require in-person visits, so they only help if a site is within driving distance. Known-donor agencies work nationwide — including Massachusetts — and each agency's per-cycle figure is on its own profile. It's also the practical route for gay and bisexual donors.
