Global Blood Fund | To Give is Human

GBF is an international charity, helping health services in low income countries provide their communities with plentiful, safe blood from volunteeer donors. GBF works with low-HDI countries to ensure a safe and sufficient blood supply for all by promoting voluntary, non-remunerated donation and helping blood collection agencies build a pool of regular, unpaid donors. This is a proven and cost-effective way to prevent the thousands of deaths that result each year from blood shortages and avoid the transmission of infections, such as HIV, that devastate lives and families.

Global Blood Fund

The Global Blood Fund is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to improving access to safe blood transfusions globally. Founded in 2008 by the Oklahoma Blood Institute (OBI), the organization focuses on supporting low and middle Human Development Index (HDI) countries in enhancing their blood collection systems to ensure a sufficient and safe blood supply[2][3].

Mission

The mission of the Global Blood Fund is to work with countries to promote voluntary non-remunerated blood donation, thereby ensuring that all populations have access to safe blood for transfusions. This is achieved through grants, provision of equipment, training, and other forms of support[4].

Activities and Impact

Since its inception, the Global Blood Fund has delivered substantial aid to over 50 countries across various regions including Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Their efforts include:

  • Supplying blood bags and other critical equipment to countries in dire need.
  • Providing portable donor beds to enhance blood collection capabilities.
  • Delivering blood mixers and scales to improve transfusion care infrastructure.
  • Donating mobile donation vehicles to expand blood donation outreach programs[3].

Financial Overview

As a tax-exempt organization, the Global Blood Fund primarily relies on donations for its operations. In recent years, contributions have constituted nearly all of its revenue. The organization has a significant asset base, with total assets reported in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, executive compensation forms a substantial portion of its expenses[1].

Evaluation and Recognition

Global Blood Fund has been evaluated by Charity Navigator, earning a 3/4 Star rating. This rating reflects the organization's financial performance, accountability, and transparency[5].

Contributions and Support

Donations to the Global Blood Fund are tax-deductible. Supporters can contribute through various channels, including direct donations and a unique program where blood donors can opt to forgo donor recognition items in favor of supporting the fund[3].
