Donate to AADP

Your contributions help AADP continue its mission. A good chunk of our funding comes from community donations.  If you’d like to donate to AADP, a non-profit, 501c3 organization, feel free to use the button below, or to send us a check through the mail. All donations made are tax-deductible and a tax letter will be sent to you upon receipt.

AADP Donations

2169 Harbor Bay Parkway

Alameda, CA.  94502

 

Here are some of the ways your donations are used:

Outreach/Recruitment – Pay it Forward
As with any cause, AADP is faced with the challenge of finding and enrolling individuals into the Be the Match Registry, who are committed to making a difference. It is our goal to give the chance to register to everybody who is able and willing to do so – especially in the minority community.

It is also our goal to eliminate any obstacles for these individuals to join. In past years, the cost to tissue type a donor has prohibited and discouraged some from joining the registry.

 

It costs $100 in administrative and lab fees to enter one donor into the Be the Match Registry. This cost is now paid for by a combination of donations from the community and a grant from the HRSA. However, these funds are not inexhaustible. We need more help from the community and individuals like you to continue to make donor registration accessible to everyone. For the next Fiscal Year 2010, AADP needs to raise at least $62,500 to help fund the registration cost of donors wishing to join the registry. Your donation can help us make sure that the cost to register to be a donor is never an obstacle for anyone.

Corporate Partnership Opportunities

Education Materials & Retention Projects
To print/publish brochures, flyers, videos and mailings that help us demonstrate both the importance and the ease of participation in the registry. Retention projects are ongoing throughout the year to help us keep donors in the registry and to increase the likelihood that donors will move forward should they be called as someone’s life-saving match. ($1,840/year)

Processing and Maintenance Fees for Cord Blood
We are currently under funded and turning away potentially life-saving umbilical cord blood donors. However, we still need to cover the cost of already stored Cord Blood Units ($2,400/year)

Web-Site Development
AADP refreshes, changes and updates our website to keep you interested, keep more people informed and to keep our services easily accessible and efficient. ($2,800/2 years)
