New Social Portal for Blood Donation: Thank Your Donor

Thank Your Donor — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 19:54:13 -0400

We've developed a new social portal that allows blood recipients to say thanks to their unknown donors. Thank Your Donor gives a chance for people to hear all the positive effects that their blood donations are having.

We're hoping this will encourage more people to donate!

Check out one of the videos that a recipient made to say thanks:

Project Description

DonorsChoose is a nonprofit organization which facilitates support for education in the American public school system. Teachers can submit school project proposals on the website in any of the following categories: math & science, literacy & history, arts & music, physical education, field trips, and more. Individual donors, called Citizen Philanthropists, select which projects to fund, either partially or in full.

Once a Citizen Philanthropist chooses a school project to support, DonorsChoose delivers the requested resources to the school. The teacher documents the funded education project using a disposable camera (also provided by DonorsChoose), and sends back the camera with hand-written thank you notes from the students involved. DonorsChoose develops the project photos and sends them with an expenditure report, a letter from the teacher, as well as the students' thank you notes to the donor(s).
