Other Ways to Give to RIBC

RIBC helps to advocate for S.T.E.M. fields as well as shape the landscape of global healthcare and scientific discovery. As a result, RIBC is paving the way for new technologies, treatments, and more. We partner with many leading organizations to advance their funding priority goals within their communities and collaborate with foundations to address various healthcare issues.

RIBC’s various scholarship programs, internship opportunities for undergraduate and graduate medical students, and free accredited transfusion courses all share a common goal, which is to train the next generation of leaders, work with local youth to demonstrate the importance of volunteerism and community service, and join forces with millions to create lasting, lifesaving collaborations.

We embrace organization’s unique interests and can help you find the perfect funding opportunity here at RIBC.

Please contact the Fund Development Team so that we may support your grant, sponsorship, or scholarship inquiry.

Donating goods of all types are appreciated and can be used to reward our volunteer blood donors throughout the year. Tickets to sporting or cultural events, food for the donor café, and other donor incentives are just a few of the ways you can help RIBC offset costs.

RIBC can accept bulk quantities of products from manufacturers, suppliers, and/or distributors as in-kind donations. In-kind products must be non-expired and preferred to be palletized. Some restrictions apply.

If you have an inquiry for donating Goods, In-Kind, a blood donor incentive, or other donation types, please contact the Fund Development Team directly.

Contact your employer to find out if they participate in a workplace giving program or corporate giving challenges.

By sharing your time, expertise, and resources, you and your employees can make a real difference in blood recipient’s lives and their families. Your team can make a difference through an RIBC online fundraiser for an event or to complement your next RIBC blood drive.

If you have an inquiry for workplace giving, please contact the Fund Development Team to coordinate this initiative.

Monthly Giving is the best way to ensure RIBC has a steady stream of funds to help more patients in need. For as little as $10 a month you can help RIBC save more lives each year. This can be set up when you make a donation through our online giving form. 

Making a planned gift can greatly benefit RIBC for years and generations to come, while accommodating your own personal, financial, and estate-planning goals. Uncovering which type of legacy gift may be tricky, and team is more than willing to assist you in uncovering a giving option that works best for your goals.

In the coming months, RIBC will offer a comprehensive Legacy Planning Tool Kit to alleviate confusion or stress and to make your decisions easy. If you would like to speak with our Fund Development Department to discuss planned giving, please fill out our contact Fund Development form and a team member will contact you within 48 hours.
