Finding FIRST TIME
Blood Donors
Earn $100 for
every first timer you sign up in the app!
So what’s so special about a first timer?
A first time donor is a BIG DEAL, because it means the blood donor pool is growing! We’re inching towards a blood shortage because there aren’t enough NEW blood donors!
*the fine print: first time means the donor has never donated blood with Our Blood Institute OR ever attempted to donate blood with OBI before. If a donor has been deferred by OBI in the past, they are not considered a first time donor.

Facts about Blood Donation to Persuade Someone to Donate Blood
-
Only 3% of eligible people donate blood in the U.S. That is NOT enough people to maintain the blood supply. We need MORE blood donors!
-
One in seven people who enter a hospital will need a blood transfusion. We need enough blood on the shelves to help anyone at any moment.
-
There is no substitute for blood. When a doctor needs it to save a life, it’s most of the time the ONLY thing that’ll save that patient.
-
There are simply not enough young donors (between 16-30 years old). Most blood donors are older than 40. We need a new generation to step up!
