In Pennsylvania: 2 open walk-in bank sites. Known-donor agencies work nationwide — including Pennsylvania — so a directed match is an option even where no bank is within driving distance.
Pennsylvania's open sites are in Philadelphia: Fairfax Cryobank ($667–1k/month) and MySpermBank ($1,200–2,000/month). Cryobio's Pittsburgh room is a prior site, not an open collection site.

A separate route from the walk-in banks above: directed / known-donor agencies match you to specific intended parents and work nationwide, including Pennsylvania. 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
Pennsylvania practice terminates donor parental rights for donations through a licensed bank.
Sperm donor pay in Pennsylvania runs $667–1k to $1,200–2,000 across 2 banks. MySpermBank pays the most, up to $1,200–2,000/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 Pennsylvania: Philadelphia (Fairfax Cryobank), Philadelphia (MySpermBank). You have to visit a site in person, so proximity is the real constraint.
MySpermBank, with a site in Philadelphia, at up to $1,200–2,000/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 Pennsylvania — and each agency's per-cycle figure is on its own profile. It's also the practical route for gay and bisexual donors.
