Ways to Give

We extend our deepest appreciation and especially wish to acknowledge the generosity of corporations, foundations and individuals who support the mission of the Kentucky Blood Center.

Types of Giving

There are a number of ways to provide significant support for the Kentucky Blood Center's vital programs.

  • Unrestricted Gifts are especially valuable because they provide the flexibility needed to implement new procedures and programs. Unrestricted funds also provide the resources to cover the costs of critical needs that are not entirely financed by other support.
  • Restricted Gifts benefit specific programs of the donor's choosing. Funds may be designated for any of the Blood Center's laboratories, education programs, bloodmobiles or special services which may be of personal interest.
  • Special Occasion Gifts may be designated for any occasion - a birthday or anniversary, or for a memorial tribute or remembrance.
  • Corporate Matching Gifts are a way to double or even triple your charitable contribution to the Kentucky Blood Center. Matching gift forms are provided by your employer's personnel office.
  • Planned Gifts, Appreciated Securities and Charitable Bequests are a flexible way to support the Center's work while benefiting your financial future.

Bequests

Although legal consultation is always advisable before preparing any type of will provision, a bequest can be simply stated as follows:

I give and bequeath to Kentucky Blood Center, a Kentucky non-profit organization located in Lexington, Kentucky, the sum of $_____ (or the following described property ___________).
