Be clear about your role
Share whether you picture limited involvement, a known relationship or a Donor Plus arrangement.
For known donors
Help someone make their dream of family possible
Become part of a thoughtful community where prospective parents and known donors can talk openly about motivation, boundaries, the child’s story and what future involvement could look like.
Known donation deserves honesty and care
Respect the future child
Support truthful origin information and preserve important identity and health information for the future.
Make decisions together
Discuss contact, privacy, boundaries and long-term expectations before attempting conception.
Questions to consider before becoming a known sperm donor
Being willing to donate is only the beginning. A good known-donor arrangement depends on whether everyone can discuss difficult subjects honestly and keep doing so as circumstances change.
- What kind of contact, if any, would feel sustainable over many years?
- How should the child learn about their conception and biological origins?
- What health, hereditary and existing-donor-child information should be shared?
- How will privacy, photographs, social media and extended family be handled?
- What happens if someone relocates, begins a new relationship or changes their expectations?
- Which clinic, home-insemination, medical-screening and legal-advice steps are appropriate?
There is no single correct relationship model. What matters is that the donor and prospective parents understand the same plan, recognise its limits and do not rely on assumptions. Take time to read our guide to becoming a known donor, discuss health screening and obtain independent professional advice where appropriate.
A profile gives prospective parents the context they need
GreatTogether lets you explain your motivation and preferred involvement while controlling your privacy and who can contact you.
