When I become a donor...
 Once you’re accepted into the Xytex donor program, it is important to decide who you are going to tell. Many of our donors are open with their family members about their donations, and will ask them for help when filling out their Medical History Questionnaires (MHQ). However, some donors do not want anyone to know.
It is important that you consider all possibilities and make the decision that suits you best. If you’ve decided to be an Identity Disclosure donor, registered offspring who turn 18 will receive your contact information. Some donors and donor offspring choose to share letters and some even choose to meet after the offspring turns 18.
Although you can not be forced to have a relationship with the offspring, it is still important to be forthcoming about any new medical information about yourself or your family members. If you’ve not told your loved ones that you were a donor, then this could cause problems in your relationships but is a responsibility of all donors to be forthcoming with changes in your medical history.
Even if you’ve opted to be an anonymous donor, you should consider telling your family. After all, you are helping families to have children who otherwise could not. It is a wonderful gift you’ve given. Be proud of your decision!

Brett,
Donors don't exactly get a stipened but are reimbursed for all of the time, testing and travel for donating. If the donor is able to visit 3 times a week it is about $1200~ I hope that answers your question.
