Lives Impacted
A Community-Powered Initiative
One Dollar One Pint is an initiative by Trauma Care International Foundation that strengthens voluntary, unpaid blood donation systems by making it easy for anyone — anywhere — to support lifesaving impact.
With $1 or the equivalent in your local currency, you can help fund the systems that make safe blood donation possible.
At the heart of One Dollar One Pint is a simple idea:
$1 represents one symbolic pint of blood. This is not a purchase of blood — it is a way to collectively fund voluntary blood donor recruitment, donor care, health education, and support for nonprofit blood collection.
The Blood Crisis We're Fighting
Every day, people lose their lives due to shortages of safe blood — especially during childbirth, accidents, surgeries, and childhood illnesses. These deaths are preventable.

The problem is not generosity — it is access, infrastructure, and donor support.
One Dollar One Pint exists to bridge that gap.
Every $1 Makes a Difference
Your contribution may be small — but when combined with others, it saves lives.
Donor Recruitment
Educate and mobilize voluntary blood donors through outreach programs, campus drives, and community events.
Donor Care
Provide hydration, rest, refreshments, and basic care for donors before and after blood donation.
Blood Collection Support
Support nonprofit blood donation activities and strengthen partnerships with government hospitals and blood banks.
Blood Donation Should Be an Act of Humanity — Never a Transaction
Voluntary, Unpaid Blood Donation
We promote and support only voluntary, unpaid blood donation as recommended by WHO guidelines.

Non-Monetary Recognition Only
Contributors may receive digital badges, certificates, or merchandise — never cash payments.
Donor Dignity, Safety & Wellbeing
We prioritize the health, safety, and dignity of every blood donor in our programs.
Transparency & Accountability
