Bloodmobile Sponsorship: Support costs of a bloodmobile, which is a mobile blood donation center that meets the blood donors where they are, helping to make blood donation easy, convenient and comfortable. Branding options available.
Diversifying the Blood Donor Base for Sickle Cell Patients: Your financial support helps to grow the donors of African heritage through community-centric outreach in Black communities, which will ultimately save and/or improve the lives of sickle cell patients, 98% of whom are Black in the U.S. – while also advancing blood science research and racial equity in healthcare and overall within American society.
High School Scholarship Program: Support Vitalant in celebrating high school students who attend schools that host blood drives by awarding them scholarship funding, which can promote increased community blood donation awareness and lifelong recurring blood donors.
Student Leadership Scholarships: Support Vitalant’s engagement of post-secondary students and their communities as their schools have an opportunity to earn up to $1,000 in scholarship support by hosting virtual blood drives.
Vitalant Research: Research is an integral part of Vitalant which is dedicated to advancing blood safety worldwide through scientific research, education and the promotion of evidence-based policies.
