Donor Fees start at $5,000 for first time donors and typically increase for premium donors who have cycled successfully many times and are in high demand.

Please note that total payments to donors in excess of $5,000 require justification and sums above $10,000 are not considered appropriate.
Travel fees:
Golden Egg Donation is located in Los Angeles, California, but we work with recipients from all over the world as well as donors from all over the country, though most are located in the southern california area.
Although many donors are located in the Los Angeles area,some have long commutes to the fertility clinic you are working with or live out of the state of California. If you choose a local donor, no travel fees will apply unless she must drive 50 miles or more per doctor visit. For out of state donors, travel fees vary depending on the location of your donor and clinic and travel prices at time of cycle. We use a third party travel coordinator. This company specializes in booking travel for donors and surrogates so they are able to find the best travel prices for you and understand the common “unknown” of exact dates for donors. The booking is usually an additional $240 fee.
Travel Fees generally include:
-2x round-trip airfare travel
-1x round-trip air travel for companion
-Hotel – approximately $100 per day
-Car rental/ground transportation costs in town -approximately $50 per day
-Outside medical monitoring- this varies based on numerous factors
-Per diem $50 per day
-3rd party travel costs of $240
All though it is difficult to know exact costs of travel, we tend to estimate travel costing around $3,500.00 plus outside monitoring.
Some donors are available for reduced travel. Please inquire for details. You will only be charged the actual costs of the above-mentioned travel expenses. You will incur no additional fees.
For donors who live in the area but must drive 50 miles or more per doctor visit, there will be a $250 fee that will go toward covering the cost of gas and extra time. For donors who must drive in excess of 100 miles per doctor visit, the fee is $500.
