2 open collection sites across 2 banks, $667–1k to $1,500.
In Nevada: 2 open walk-in bank sites. Known-donor agencies work nationwide — including Nevada — so a directed match is an option even where no bank is within driving distance.
Nevada is unusual: both of its sperm banks — Fairfax Cryobank and Seattle Sperm Bank — operate in Las Vegas, so a donor can compare two full programs without leaving the city. Seattle Sperm Bank has no height requirement and advertises the higher ceiling ($1,500); Fairfax ($667–1k) is the other option.
Las Vegas
Fairfax ($667–1k/mo) and SSB ($1,500/mo) — compare without leaving town
Two banks in one city gives Las Vegas donors a direct comparison. Reno donors are closer to the Bay Area's sites.
A separate route from the walk-in banks above: directed / known-donor agencies match you to specific intended parents and work nationwide, including Nevada. 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
Legal note
Nevada's parentage statute terminates donor rights for donations through a licensed facility.
Sperm donor pay in Nevada runs $667–1k to $1,500 across 2 banks. Seattle Sperm Bank pays the most, up to $1,500/month. These are advertised ceilings — most donors take home less, and several banks defer part of each payment until samples clear the FDA quarantine.
There are 2 open collection sites in Nevada: Las Vegas (Seattle Sperm Bank), Las Vegas (Fairfax Cryobank). You have to visit a site in person, so proximity is the real constraint.
Seattle Sperm Bank, with a site in Las Vegas, at up to $1,500/month. Higher pay usually comes with stricter screening or a longer commitment.
Fairfax Cryobank has the lowest published barriers, with a 5'8" height minimum. Acceptance rates are bank-claimed, though, so treat them as marketing rather than your real odds.
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 Nevada — and each agency's per-cycle figure is on its own profile. It's also the practical route for gay and bisexual donors.
