A community project — San Francisco / New York / Anywhere

Have you thought about being a known donor?

Why this matters
  • Help more families exist, as fertility challenges increase
  • Be informed on the donation process
  • Support friends going through this

More single moms by choice and queer couples are hoping to find a donor they know — someone from their community, whom their child can know too. We’re gathering stories, information, and people who want to talk about it — to make the process easier for everyone, and help more families come to be.

Five things most men don’t know

(01—05)
01

A known donor isn’t a dad.

With the right legal agreements in place, a donor isn’t a legal parent. The family is the family.

02

Many families want a donor they know.

Someone from their community — someone their child can put a face and a name to.

03

The relationship is up to the adults.

A few visits a year, a card on birthdays, or staying in the background. It’s agreed on together.

04

Sperm banks are a hard place to choose from.

Limited information, limited ways to filter, limited supply. A known donor is a different path.

05

You can learn without committing.

Signing up starts a conversation — not a contract. You’re never listed anywhere.
