1 open collection site at Fairfax Cryobank, $667–1k.
In Virginia: 1 open walk-in bank site. Known-donor agencies work nationwide — including Virginia — so a directed match is an option even where no bank is within driving distance.
Virginia's single site is Fairfax Cryobank in Fairfax — the company's own headquarters. Northern Virginia and DC-area donors get the flagship location; the rest of the state has no in-state site.
Fairfax Cryobank in Fairfax advertises $667–1k a month, paid on a deferred schedule rather than same-day cash. Part of each payment is held in escrow until your samples clear the FDA quarantine, and the range assumes near-perfect attendance — so real take-home is lower, particularly in the first months.

Fairfax Cryobank HQ ($667–1k/mo)
Fairfax is the only Virginia site. Richmond (92 mi) is a stretch and Virginia Beach (159 mi) further still — for central and coastal Virginia 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 Virginia. 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.
