Help Change Lives this Holiday Season

This season of giving, your gift to the AABB Foundation can make a life-changing impact. When you give, you help fund vital scientific research that can offer hope to millions of patients throughout the world.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, more than 200 grants have been awarded for research on medical conditions like sickle cell disease, alloimmunization, anemia and hemophilia, helping advance treatments across many fields of medicine, including pediatrics, oncology, cardiology and transplantation.

The next groundbreaking discovery in blood and biotherapies is within our reach. With your help today, we can create a brighter future for patients and blood donors alike.

Your Contributions at Work

The AABB Foundation serves the field of blood and biotherapies through grantmaking, educational offerings, and industry leadership engagement and recognition. Your contributions play a crucial role in supporting this important work and our mission of fueling innovative research by:

  • Empowering early-stage investigators with opportunities to launch their research careers.
  • Providing critical funding support for major scientific studies in blood and biotherapies.
  • Encouraging innovation and novel approaches to research and scientific discovery.
  • Shaping the future of our field through collaborative research discussions with industry leaders.
