First time donors are critical to success. Grow your donor base with each drive.

Don't go it alone. Build a strong recruitment committee.

Nothing motivates a donor like an in-person ask for a donation.

Ask donors in-person, but schedule their appointments online.

Ensure Leadership support for your drive.

Appointments are critical to running a smooth drive. Every donor should have one.

Manage your blood drive and appointments in the online drive management system.

You will need more appointments than your drive goal. Be sure to recruit extra donors.

RapidPass speeds up donor flow. Encourage every donor to bring one.
