Keep blood moving
DashBlood is free for families and donors. Your support keeps it running and funds blood drives. Give to the team, or sponsor a drive in a city you care about.
This form needs JavaScript. To pledge without it, email dashbloodofficial@gmail.com and tell us whether you want to support the team or sponsor a drive.
02 / How a gift is used
Where it goes
Two ways to give, and what each one pays for.
Sponsor a drive
A drive in your city
The venue, supplies and promotion for a donation drive organised with a partner hospital in the city you choose.
Never
Blood or donors
Money never pays for blood or for donors. Blood donation stays voluntary and unpaid.
Our commitments
- No payment for blood. DashBlood does not buy or sell blood and does not pay donors.
- DashBlood coordinates. It is not a hospital, a blood bank or an emergency service. Collection, testing and transfusion stay with authorised facilities.
- Agreed with you. Sponsors are contacted to agree how the drive is organised, with the hospital, before it goes ahead.
03 / Questions
Before you give
Is my gift tax deductible?
We cannot promise tax receipts yet. Please do not assume a gift is tax deductible. If you need a written acknowledgement for your own records, say so in your message and we will tell you what we can provide.
Can I give from abroad?
Yes. Pledge in XAF, USD or EUR and give an email address. After you pledge you see the payment options currently available. If none suits you from where you are, the team will contact you to find another way.
How do I know my sponsorship happened?
You receive a reference code when you pledge. The team then contacts you at the email or phone you gave: to confirm your gift has been received and, for a drive, to agree how it is organised and keep you updated.
Can I stay anonymous?
Yes. Tick “Give anonymously” and we will not name you publicly. The team still needs your email or phone so it can reach you.
Can I give blood instead?
Yes, and it is what saves lives. See the open requests near you, or register as a donor. Only the donation facility can decide whether you are eligible on the day.
Money helps. Blood saves.
If you would rather give your time and your blood, there are people waiting right now. Check the open requests or register as a donor.
