Employer-Sponsored Blood Drives

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) Chronic Disease Prevention Program (CDPP) is issuing the Employer-Sponsored Blood Drives Grant Funding Opportunity (GFO) to award grants to employers who apply to the department to organize blood drives. The employee blood donation must be voluntary, uncompensated, and of whole blood or specific blood components for use by a nonprofit blood bank organization. The blood drive must be defined as a function organized by a nonprofit blood bank organization in coordination with an employer that is open only to employees of the employer. The employer must retain documentation of each blood donation.

This GFO is authorized under 2021 Wisconsin Act 58, Section 9119. Questions about this GFO and the application process can be sent to DHSChronicDiseasePrevention@dhs.wisconsin.gov (link sends e-mail) .
