Did you know Vitalant is a nonprofit organization? That means we rely not only on lifesaving blood donations but also on generous financial contributions to support our mission. Even if you’re unable to donate blood, you can still make a lifesaving impact through the Vitalant Foundation. This fundraising initiative helps support blood donation programs, research and patient care, ensuring a safe and steady blood supply for those in need. Whether you’ve been permanently deferred or simply want to do more, contributing to the Foundation is a powerful way to help your community and beyond.
Every dollar raised supports programs that sustain the blood supply, advances medical research or improves patient care. Your generous support even helps cover the costs of vital resources like bloodmobiles, fully equipped mobile donation centers that bring lifesaving opportunities directly to donors. These mobile units make giving blood easy, convenient and comfortable.
And guess what: If your employees are already donating blood, volunteering or giving financially, their support could go even further through employee giving programs or corporate matching gifts. Many companies offer matching funds for charitable donations and volunteer hours, amplifying the impact of each contribution. Encourage your team to check with their HR or CSR departments — a simple way to make an even bigger difference for patients who rely on Vitalant.
Even if you can’t give blood, you can still give hope … because every act of generosity saves lives.
