While compensation should not be the sole purpose for donating, we recognize that it is a significant factor and we pride ourselves on being completely transparent about our compensation policies. Here is more information on how we do compensation at Intend:
Can I Negotiate My Compensation?
The short answer is no. We have a set compensation structure, and we not allow donors to negotiate. We have several reasons for sticking with the compensation that we have:
Our compensation rate has been carefully thought out and planned. We believe that the amount we have set is appropriate and fair, considering the market and the services being provided.
We have a very high and competitive compensation rate compared to other agencies and clinics. Donors will make more donating with us than at a clinic, even a high paying one.
At Intend we are all about professionalism. When you sign up to work with us, we want you to know everything that you are getting into from the start. Having a set compensation rate ensures that there is no confusion or duplicitous behavior in our relationship with you. Other agencies may promise a higher compensation, while inserting a surprise fee later on; or they may lure donors in with a big number, but skimp on providing actual quality service. When you register with an agency to be an egg donor, you are not only signing up to donate your eggs, but also to work with that agency. At Intend, we promise you will receive high quality, professional service. We are there for you throughout the entire process and as our donors attest, we make the donation process as seamless as possible. We are not trying to trick you or hide any information, which is why we lay everything, including compensation, out to begin with.
How Is Compensation Set Up Then?
Our compensation structure:
As a first time donor, you can expect to receive a $9,000 base compensation.
Your second time donating you will receive $11,000 as your base compensation.
Each cycle with us thereafter (you can cycle up to six times with Intend), as a returning donor you will receive an extra $1,000 in compensation.
Additional bonuses:
There is a $3,000 bonus if you are attending or have received a degree from a four-year college or university.
There is a $3,000 bonus if you are attending or have received a degree from a graduate (Master's, PHD) program.
There is a $3,000 bonus if you are or have attended an elite school (e.g. Ivy league, Stanford, MIT)
You will be required to send proof of the above to receive the bonus.
It is also important to note that any other costs associated with the egg donation process (including insurance, medical screenings, attorney fees, and travel costs) are covered by the intended parents. You will not pay anything out of pocket for donation-related expenses.
