About

Why Choose TSBC?

The Sperm Bank of California is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing ethical family building options to our diverse community. We have an unwavering commitment to the well-being of parents, children, and donors.

The TSBC difference

The only non-profit sperm bank in the US: families, not profits, come 1st

A limit of 10 families per donor: the lowest family limit nationally*

Long-term commitment to equity and inclusion for LGBTQ+ individuals and families

Policies that support intended parents of all ethnic backgrounds

Our Identity-Release® Program is the first open-identity program in the world  to provide donor-conceived adults with access to information about their donors

Our award-winning research program guides the services we offer, our family limits, Family Contact List and Identity-Release® Program

* Prompt reporting of pregnancies and pregnancy outcomes allows us to maintain our ten-family limit. Unreported pregnancies, delayed reporting, and vials or embryos stored at clinics without our knowledge, can lead to a donor having more than 10 families.

The Sperm Bank of California provides services to individuals and couples creating or expanding their families through donor insemination and sperm storage. The Sperm Bank of California has been making the dream of family a reality since 1982, when we established as the first sperm bank in the US to serve all women including lesbians and single women. Rooted in this history and always looking forward, TSBC welcomes recipients, partners and clients of all sexual orientations, gender expressions, and relationship statuses.
