Create, Protect & Connect - May we introduce the Open Donor Association
We exist to make family-building ethical, transparent, and deeply connected - for parents, donors, and the next generation.
We are building a nonprofit-driven platform, where the focus is not on profit margins but on families, trust, and future generations. Every decision we make is grounded in the belief that families - no matter how they're formed - deserve honesty, dignity, and enduring support.
At the Open Donor Association, our mission is to help women, donors and couples create the families they dream of — not through anonymous transactions, but through open connections, trusted support, and long-term care and connections for donor-conceived children.
The fertility world has become too transactional, too closed, and too disconnected from the long-term well-being of the families it serves.
At the Open Donor Association, we’re changing that.
We believe that donor conception should be grounded in trust, transparency, and lasting connection. Not secrecy. That’s why we only work with open donors who are committed to ethical contribution and long-term visibility, should a child wish to know their origins.
We also believe that every recipient deserves full support — not just in the moment of conception, but throughout their entire journey. Whether you're a single mom, a lesbian couple, or an LGBTQ+ family preparing for the future, we’re here to help you find the right match, receive real support, and connect to a growing community that shares your values.
Most importantly, we believe that donor-conceived persons (DCPs) deserve care, connection, and community as they grow. This is why we provide tools, networks, and safe spaces for them to meet others, understand their identity, and stay connected.
We’re not just helping you bring a child into the world.
We’re helping you build a foundation of love, truth, and belonging. One family at a time.
Built by donors & recipients. Made for donors & recipients.
