VALUES
We make the dream of family a reality.We have an unwavering commitment to the well-being of parents, children, and donors. We support our families and our donors now and in the future through our ongoing family services and our resources for parents, donor-conceived individuals, donors, and the donors’ families. We consider the long-term implications of our policies for parents, donor-conce

ived individuals, donors, and the donors’ families. For this reason, we track all pregnancies and their outcomes, limit our donors to 10 families, and store all records indefinitely. We provide ethical and visionary leadership in donor conception through our policies, published research, and by working closely with reproductive health professionals and community members. We support open communication in families and access to donor information. We celebrate diversity in our community. We provide high quality services in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment. PROGRAMS
We offer donor s***m services, including our pioneering Identity-Release® Program—the first program worldwide to provide donor-conceived adults with the option to learn their donor’s identity. We provide s***m storage services for individuals who face threats to their fertility, are gender transitioning, or who are donating for someone they know. We maintain meticulous laboratory standards and operate in full compliance with state and federal regulations for processing and storing reproductive tissue. We provide personalized customer service and customized fertility education. We are the only s***m bank to conduct and publish research on the outcomes and implications of donor conception for parents, donor-conceived individuals, and donors. We provide community education to enhance societal understanding and promote ethical practices through free resources on our website and through presentations at community organizations and professional conferences.

We share these sentiments from our friend, Executive Director of COLAGE, Jordan Wilson, about today’s Supreme Court ruling, “When schools are forced to treat LGBTQ+ people and families as controversial or inappropriate, students with LGBTQ+ parents and LGBTQ+ youth are explicitly told that they do not belong.”

On Give OUT day, the only national day of giving for the LGBTQIA+ community, we ask you to support q***r families (and other families built with donor assistance) by making a donation to the only nonprofit s***m bank in the US--The S***m Bank of California.

We envision a future where ALL families are valued & celebrated. We believe this starts with access to inclusive, informed, and supportive reproductive options but it doesn't end there!

Support a future where all families are valued--centering the well-being of donor-conceived people.

This last month has felt like a lifetime, but as the only organization expressly dedicated to uniting and empowering people with one or more LGBTQ+ parent/caregiver, we have a responsibility to step up and respond by equipping the next generation of leaders with the support they need to empower the change we collectively envision. To address the record-setting number of executive orders coming from the new administration, we have pulled together a new FAQ aimed at helping younger COLAGErs understand what’s going on in DC, including info on which executive orders might impact our families and how.
