Support Vitalant Foundation

As one of the nation’s largest nonprofit blood and biotherapies healthcare organizations, providing hospitals and patients across the U.S. a safe blood supply, Vitalant is uniquely positioned to become the nation’s most innovative and inclusive blood and biotherapies partner.

But our work doesn’t end with blood donation.

Financial gifts to Vitalant Foundation help ensure blood is available for patients in need and enhances research opportunities to support blood donors and recipients of the future.

The impact of blood donations is lifesaving, but the nation’s blood donor base continues to shrink. Financial gifts help address this challenge by funding critical donor recruitment initiatives and blood center operations. In addition to supporting the daily blood needs Vitalant meets, gifts also support research in donor and patient safety. Our Vitalant Research Institute leads the way in understanding new threats to blood safety and helps to find practical applications of new knowledge in transfusion biology. Recent research includes Vitalant’s involvement in work conducted at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic to support patients with developing technology, as well as the ADVANCE study, which could lead to additional changes in blood donor eligibility.
