Ways to Support

Become an Annual Partner with Benefits

Our Annual Partnership Program offers unique opportunities for visibility and engagement, while directly supporting our year-round efforts to save lives. Partners receive tailored benefits and recognition based on giving level, aligning your organization with a cause that truly matters.

Leave a Lasting Mark Through Naming Opportunities

Display gratitude through your company’s commitment to corporate social responsibility by naming key spaces at our donor centers, such as the canteen, health screening rooms, blood supply carts, donor beds, or reception area. These lasting tributes help fund critical infrastructure while inspiring others to give. *Subject to availability at our 10 donor centers.

Empower Youth Through The High School Challenge Program

Our High School Challenge Program is more than a friendly competition amongst Southern California High Schools in San Diego, Orange County, Riverside, Inland Empire, and Los Angeles—it’s a way to educate and empower young donors to become lifelong blood donors. Your support can amplify this program’s reach and impact. Visit The High School Challenge Program to learn more.

Support Events Through Sponsorship & Underwriting

Help us create memorable and impactful events throughout the year by sponsoring or underwriting key elements. These contributions lower costs and elevate the experience for our donors and community partners.

Offer a Matching Challenge for a Fundraising Campaign
Matching challenges inspire others to give and multiply the impact of each donation. Whether it’s a campaign around Giving Tuesday, National Blood Donor Month, or a specific appeal, your match can spark action and make every dollar go further.

Each of these ways to support plays a vital role in advancing our mission, connecting people, inspiring philanthropy, and delivering the gift of life through blood donations and beyond. With your help, we can continue this mission for another 75 years.

Action in Times of Crisis
Whether it’s a natural disaster, public health emergency, or community-wide shortage, your company can respond quickly and compassionately through financial outreach campaigns or in-kind donations. This partnership enables you to be a source of immediate relief and long-term recovery.

Demonstrable ROI on Your Social Investment
We help our partners measure and communicate the return on their support through impact reporting, transparency, and accountability. From the number of units collected, to the lives touched, we provide clear metrics to support ESG reporting, CSR strategy alignment, and continuous improvement.
