Financial donations
“It took over 70 units of blood and platelets from donors to get me through three rounds of chemotherapy and into remission. But it’s financial donors like you that help motivate these donors to give in the first place.” — Gail
Sometimes it takes a team to save lives. By joining the team of financial supporters to Canada’s Lifeline, it will help us do even more to recruit donors of blood, plasma, platelets and stem cells and will give hope to patients who are counting on these precious life essentials.
It's easy to give
When patients are in need, there’s more than one way to show up and make a difference. Financial donations to Canada’s Lifeline are an important way to answer the call.
Donate each month or make a one-time gift to celebrate a special occasion or honour a loved one. You can even explore leaving a gift in your will, or inspiring and engaging your staff through corporate giving.
No matter how you choose to give, every dollar will make a difference in our efforts to improve outcomes for patients who depend on us.
