Sperm donor pay in Virginia

1 collection site across 1 bank, $834/month.

Banks near youAgencies (all 50 states)

In Virginia: 1 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's six-month 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 (~110 mi) is a stretch and Virginia Beach (~200 mi) further still — for central and coastal Virginia the nationwide known-donor route is often more practical.

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 in all 50 states, including Virginia. The family pays a per-cycle fee ($5k–$100k), usually trait-priced and released from escrow after FDA clearance — not a monthly wage, so 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 Virginia.
  • 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

Virginia's assisted-conception statute (Va. Code §20-158) provides that a sperm donor is not the parent of a child conceived through assisted conception.
