Coast to Coast Sperm Donation

11/25/2025

Coast to Coast is growing and we’re thrilled to welcome Tina Barbagallo to the team as Match Coordinator.

Tina is excited to embark on the next phase of her career, entering the evolving field of s***m donation. She is committed to leading with empathy, guiding both intended parents and s***m donors through a process that can be both overwhelming but incredibly rewarding.

Tina’s journey in the fertility world began back in the 1990s when she became an egg donor herself. By 2002, she stepped into the agency side—supporting donor and recipient intake, coordinating cycles, and eventually finding her true calling in matching, where she’s spent decades helping build families with care and intention.

With her deep experience, vast knowledge, and extraordinary compassion, Tina brings a thoughtful, steady presence to every case. She’s known for leading with empathy and for guiding intended parents and donors through a process that can feel overwhelming—but also incredibly beautiful.

When she’s not helping create families, you can find her at concerts or hiking the trails around Los Angeles.

We’re so excited to have her expertise and heart on our team!

What a fabulous time we had in Costa Mesa at the conference. We saw old friends, met new ones and had deep conversations about best practices for donor conception.

We talked to donor-conceived people, surrogacy and egg donor agencies, attorneys and mental health professionals.

Being part of this community means upholding the highest standards for everyone. Until next year!

Getting the C2C family together is always fun too!

Our s***m key chains were a big hit too!

“You’ll never regret helping someone build a family.” – Mike, Coast to Coast Donor

Mike didn’t set out to become a s***m donor. But after seeing a loved one struggle with infertility, he realized the powerful role a donor can play in giving families hope.

What he found at Coast to Coast S***m Donation was different:
✔️ A program built on connection, transparency, and ethics
✔️ A responsible family limit of just 6 families worldwide
✔️ A process that values professionalism and personal care

For Mike, it wasn’t just about paperwork or medical testing—it was about making a thoughtful, meaningful choice to change lives.

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to step into that role, this is your chance to see what it’s really like.

A Coast to Coast Donor is not just a number.

Most s***m banks treat donors like widgets in a factory - but what if you could actually have control over YOUR donation experience?

Swipe to see the Coast to Coast difference ➡️

Unlike traditional s***m banks that use a one-size-fits-all approach, we put YOU in the driver's seat:

Choose YOUR level of contact – from limited contact to meeting families directly 📚

Learn about YOUR fertility - comprehensive testing and insights about your own health

Limit to 6 families worldwide - because quality matters more than quantity

Your donation, YOUR terms - we work around your schedule and preferences

You're not just donating genetic material - you're thoughtfully helping create families while maintaining complete control over your experience.

Why do we limit our donor family units to six?

Because six is enough to build love, not risk.

At Coast to Coast S***m Donation, we're committed to reducing the chances of consanguinity—accidental relationships between genetic siblings—by keeping our family unit numbers small and transparent.

We're here to bring ethics, honesty, and heart back into s***m donation.

That means prioritizing the long-term health and happiness of donor-conceived children, their families, and future generations.

Let’s build families with care.

At Coast to Coast, we believe donor-conceived people should have access to their medical and genetic history. That's why we ONLY work with donors who, at a minimum, agree to release their identity when that donor-conceived child turns 18.
This isn't just about policy – it's about doing what's right.

Our commitment means:

🔹 Donor-conceived individuals can access donor information at age 18
🔹 Medical history is always available when needed – donors keep us updated every year
🔹 No surprises – everyone knows the agreement upfront
🔹 Supporting healthy, informed family building choices

We believe openness and transparency creates stronger foundations for growing families.

Building families through honesty, transparency and respect, one story at a time.

Why Choose a Donor from Coast to Coast?

Because we believe in more than just biology — we believe in transparency, ethics, and meaningful connections.

70% of our donors are open to meeting recipients.
Whether you're seeking to build a relationship or simply want the option for your child in the future, we support that choice, and we provide options to help make it happen

Only 6 families per donor — worldwide.

We limit the number of families who can work with a donor to ensure ethical practices, fewer half-siblings, and greater peace of mind for everyone involved.

Choosing a s***m donor is a big decision. At Coast to Coast S***m Donation, we’re here to make sure you feel empowered, supported, and informed every step of the way.
