What is Third Party Donation?
Third party donation involves the donation of eggs, sperm, or embryos from a donor to an individual or couple (the recipients) to assist in the creation of a family. This type of donation is a beacon of hope for many who face challenges in conceiving a child. It’s a process that fosters both generosity and gratitude, connecting donors and recipients in their shared dream of bringing new life into the world.
Who is Third Party Donation Right For?

This includes couples with infertility issues, same-sex couples, and single individuals seeking to start their families. It’s a choice that opens doors, creating possibilities where nature has placed hurdles.
For Reproductive Donors. Choosing to be a donor means providing the most precious gift one can offer—a chance at life. It’s a decision that comes from a deep sense of altruism and compassion. As a donor, you are the cornerstone on which dreams of family are built.
