Donating plasma for the first time 

Every day, plasma donations improve and save so many lives. Plasma contains proteins that are used to produce specialty drugs that are vital for the treatment of many diseases. 


One hour. One life.

There is an ever-growing need for this one-of-a-kind resource. Thankfully, plasma is a renewable resource that can be given every six days. When you give plasma, you’re improving and saving lives. 

Contrary to popular belief, you can make your first plasma donation even if you have not previously donated blood. Interested? Here’s how to donate.

Every donation counts

Depending on the disease, a single patient’s treatment may require as many as 160 plasma donations per year. Your generosity has the power to change the life of someone who needs plasma-based specialty drugs to recover. Our donors say that one of the most gratifying aspects of donating is knowing that they’re helping to improve someone’s health.
