How to give
Make a personal gift
You’ll feel good knowing that just like blood, plasma or stem cells, your financial donation helps save lives. You can make a one-time gift or help us meet the increasing needs of tomorrow by donating monthly.
Launch your online fundraiser
Are you celebrating a milestone blood donation? Maybe you have a birthday, anniversary or big race coming up? Set up your own fundraising page and ask yourfriends and family to support a great cause!
Honour or celebrate a loved one
Honour the memory of someone special or celebrate a loved one by making a lifesaving gift. You can send an e-card with your online gift, or we can send a card by mail on your behalf. The amount of your donation is kept strictly confidential and giving is made easy with our online donation form.
Request memorial donations
Honour the life of a loved one by requesting memorial donations to Canadian Blood Services in lieu of flowers. We will work directly with your family or funeral service provider to ensure these special gifts help make a difference in the lives of patients in need.
Amplify your impact
Already hosting a blood donation or swabbing event in support of Canadian Blood Services? Consider adding a fundraising component to your plans to amplify your impact! Create an online fundraising page or speak to a member of our philanthropy team to find out how you can incorporate fundraising into your campaign.
Gather for a good cause
Host an event in support of Canadian Blood Services or mark a special occasion by inspiring financial donations in lieu of gifts. No event or celebration is too big or small – let us help bring your vision to life!
Build a corporate culture of giving
Inquire about sponsorship opportunities, donate a speaker’s honorarium or double an employee’s financial gift, volunteerism or blood donation through corporate matching. It’s easy to recognize your corporate social responsibility goals when you team up with employees to support their charity of choice!
Leave a legacy
By planning a gift, you can make a significant future donation without investing large sums of money. You will also recognize significant tax savings. There are many ways to make a planned gift: through your will, RRSPs and RRIFs, or life insurance policy. A member of our philanthropy team will be happy to offer guidance. You should also talk to your financial advisor and let them know your wishes.
Donate Your Car
When you donate your car, truck, RV, boat, or motorcycle to Canadian Blood Services through Donate A Car Canada, it will either be recycled or sold at auction (depending on its condition, age and location). Donate a Car Canada will look after all the details. Free towing is provided in most areas across Canada, or you can drop off your vehicle to maximize your donation. After your vehicle donation is complete, you will receive a tax receipt from Canadian Blood Services. Please click here to donate your vehicle today.
