Financial Gifts - Introduction

Volunteer blood donors are the heart of Serving the South Sound, and The Blood Center is deeply grateful for their lifesaving gifts. A single blood donation can save many lives. However, we realize that not everyone is able to give blood, and we are all limited by the number of times we can donate.

Recognizing the enormous potential for generosity in our community, The Blood Center offers everyone an opportunity to save lives by making a financial contribution. Your gift will make possible the resources and purchases needed to save lives.

What a difference You Can Make!
Technological advances have improved both medicine’s capabilities and the ability to safeguard the communities’ blood supply through research and testing. At the same time, the economics of managed care prevent healthcare providers from paying the full cost of blood collections, quality assurance, distribution and research.

Despite strong efficiency measures instituted, there remains a sizeable gap between the income received for each pint of blood and the expenses associated with it.
