BY GIVING A LITTLE, YOU CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE

In rich countries, when patients need blood it is usually available and safe for transfusion. In economically challenged countries, blood banks are often empty and what blood is available may put transfused patients at risk of contracting HIV or numerous other infections.

Friends of Global Blood Fund

‘Friends of Global Blood Fund’ is a rolling-donation program, through which those who care about transfusion equality between rich and poor nations make an annual gift at a selected level. Making a forward commitment doesn’t just enable GBF’s work; surety of income for the following fiscal year helps improve efficiency and effectiveness compared to a reliance on sporadic donations.

Will your organization consider becoming a friend (see why here)? Your initial pledge will be for 2-years. This will automatically roll-forward for a further 12 months on each anniversary, but be assured that this can be cancelled at any time. Friends get an updated certificate each year plus your logo featured on our supporters’ wall.

Please select your preferred level of donation (indicative only at this stage), complete your details and we will be in touch.

[GBF’s] in-kind donation of two multi-component collection devices is highly appreciated since it came at a time when we were in great need for this type of machine. It is only with the generous support of donors like Global Blood Fund that we are able to deliver our lifesaving mission and maintain our position as a pioneer cancer center in the region.
