We’ve maintained a 95% match rate through complete client focus. Your preferences guide our donor search process, enabling us to facilitate a life-changing match.
Highly-educated donors
Whether a donor’s academic background is your top priority or it’s part of a more expansive set of criteria, we’ll find the right match.
Our search for highly educated donors includes:
-
Donors who are pursuing or have earned a four-year college degree
-
Donors with a GPA of at least 3.0
-
Donors with specific degrees, based on intended parents’ preferences, including sperm and egg donors with Bachelor's and Master's degrees, medical students, law students, and PhD candidates
-
Donors with specific skills or passions, like more artistic donors who are music or art students or professionals
A note on Ivy League donor searches
Donor Concierge has helped parents find donors from renowned universities such as Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, MIT, Stanford, and other top-tier institutions. As we always tell our clients, “If they are out there, we will find them.” While many clients have an ‘ideal’ Ivy League donor in mind, the fact is that many other donors are just as intelligent and ambitious as those who attended schools like Harvard or Yale. There's also the question of availability — individuals who attend exclusive Ivy League schools often don't choose to be donors because they may not have the time or inclination to do so.
Donors by ethnicity
We understand that ethnicity and cultural references lay the groundwork for a family’s identity and the children they raise. We draw on our extensive pool of donors from over 180 agencies and donor banks to compile the largest possible selection of donors who meet your criteria.
You can trust that our Donor Concierge team is:
-
Culturally informed
-
Familiar with all top-tier databases that may have your ideal match
-
Trained to curate candidates from Donor Concierge’s exclusive 25,000+ donor database
-
Ready to review all potential profiles who make the short-list to ensure they are as close of a match to your dream donor as possible
Finding an Asian egg or sperm donor
Donor Concierge has helped hundreds of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other East Asian clients find a donor who matches their cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
Our case managers are also proficient in various languages and dialects, including Mandarin and Cantonese.
Finding an East Indian egg or sperm donor
We have helped many Indian couples achieve their dream of being parents. We also recognize your ethnic heritage is important, and that there is a difference between Indian donors, Pakistani donors, and Sri Lankan donors.
While there is a high demand and often smaller pool for South Asian donors, you can feel confident Donor Concierge will curate your search to help you find the right Indian, Hindu, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, or Sri Lankan donor.
Our expert team of case managers has decades of experience matching families from diverse ethnic backgrounds.
These ethnicities include some of the following:
-
African American donors — Our team is connected with over 150+ agencies and donor banks nationwide that make it easy to curate a list of African American and Black egg donors and sperm donors.
-
Caucasian and European donors — The majority of egg and sperm donors we encounter are Caucasian with a European Heritage. Our team is well-versed in matching families looking for donors of Greek, Russian, Italian, French, Irish, Canadian, and Australian heritage.
-
Hispanic donors — We navigate a search with cultural sensitivity and deep knowledge that the Hispanic community is not a monolith. We can narrow our search based on your family’s cultural background, whether you’re Mexican, Argentinian, or Spaniard.
-
Middle Eastern donors — While some communities may be less likely to donate sperm or eggs because of ethnic or cultural reasons, we can tap into our large database of donors to find those who do. Our team has matched families with Arabic, Persian, and Armenian donors.
-
Finding a Jewish egg or sperm donor
We’ve successfully matched many Jewish families with egg and sperm donors. We are particularly sensitive to the fact that a child traditionally inherits their Jewish heritage through a mother, and how important this may be for some intended parents. If you're looking for a donor with a more specific background, such as Ashkenazi, Sephardi, or Mizrachi, we can refine the search even further.
Our team can also share knowledge about Jewish egg and sperm donation, including how rabbinic authorities view donation and which Movements require a donor to be fully Jewish.
Donors by religious beliefs
Faith and religious beliefs are central to some family-building journeys. We’re ready to help match recipient parents with donors who share their faith, whether you are looking for Muslim or Jewish donors.
Our team will focus on the following when leading a search for a donor’s religious background:
-
Understand faith leaders’ stance on egg donation, sperm donation, and intended parents
-
Listen carefully when discussing lived experiences that are personal to you and your family
-
Curate a list of highly-vetted donors with shared religious experiences

While finding a donor near you isn’t a requirement — agencies will coordinate a donor’s travel to your fertility clinic — proximity is important to some clients. The Donor Concierge team can match you with a donor in your preferred city, state, or region. (If you’re an international parent working with a US-based fertility clinic, the same rules apply!)
Our nationwide network of agencies and databases enables us to zero in on the specific location you desire.
Donors by physical traits
Many of our intended parents have a vision of what their child will look like, from height to eye color. At Donor Concierge, we encourage clients to find a donor who looks like they could fit into their family, rather than focusing on an exact match.
Through our process, we will optimize your donor search by working closely with you to understand your needs. To get started, you will:
-
Complete an intake form that outlines your top physical characteristics
-
Narrow down choices based on general search categories like eye color, hair color, facial features, and skin tones
-
Include specific keywords that can help direct the search, like tall donor, blonde donor, athletic donor, or red-haired donor
-
Show your case manager pictures of you, your partner, or your family so they can have a point of reference during their search
Donors by blood type
While we encourage clients not to focus on finding a donor with a specific blood type (which will limit your choices), we are sensitive to this request and will follow this criteria if it’s important to you. We understand that cultural issues may restrict the donor blood type options available to you, and we will create a list of donors based on your preferences.

“I don't know what we would have done without Donor Concierge. Searching on your own is overwhelming and confusing. Our case managers send us every possible donor in a neatly formatted PDF direct to our inboxes. They cared deeply about us and our search, and were incredibly warm and kind through an emotionally difficult process. Within a week, we found the perfect donor and are now 8 weeks pregnant. We're extremely grateful.”
