INTRODUCTIONIncreasing access to, and acceptance of, third‐party assisted reproductive technologies has resulted in greater demand for donor gametes, with donor gametes involved in approximately 10% of fertility treatment cycles in New Zealand.1 However, shortages of gamete donors continue to be reported globally,2,3 including in New Zealand where there are long waitlists.4To aid in donor recruitment, there has been significant international interest in understanding donor motivations,2 and paying donors has been suggested to increase donor numbers.5 Payment is viewed as a way to incentivise and recruit potential donors, especially younger, healthy donors, as well as to acknowledge the inconvenience and burden associated with donation,6 and includes recognition for time investment and potential earnings, efforts of the donor, psychological risk and, particularly for oocyte donors, potential morbidity from superovulatory drugs.7Internationally, young people from the student population are actively recruited as their younger age is associated with perceived better health and greater fertility, making them appealing as donors. Gamete recipients are also reported to be interested in donors with a university degree,8 and fertility agencies in commercial jurisdictions may require donors to be enrolled in or have a degree, offering higher rates for Ivy League students or ‘doctorate donors’.9,10 Donor programs target
