Reasons To Donate

Most Canadians don’t realize that over 70% of the plasma used to treat patients in Canada is sourced from the United States. That means when someone here needs life-saving treatments, we rely heavily on plasma collected from paid donors in another country. It’s time to build a more self-sufficient system and that starts with people like you.

When you donate plasma, you’re helping ensure Canadians have reliable access to vital therapies, right here at home. Your contribution can change lives and as a thank you for your time, donors are sent an honorarium. Whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth, every donation matters.
