Frequently Asked Questions:

General Donor Portal FAQ

Why do I have to create a new donor portal account?

All donors must create a new donor portal account as of October 18, 2023. A new account is required to experience our new donor scheduling portal fully. We have a brand new system that doesn’t interact with our old system. You can schedule appointments and see your previous donations, test results, and more.

How do I find my Donor ID?

If this is your first time donating, you’ll receive a Donor ID on the donor sheet at time of registration. If you’ve previously donated, your ID will be on your donor sheet or in the new donor scheduling portal email announcement.

Still need assistance call 800-398-7888 or or email [email protected].

Do I need to know my Donor ID to book an appointment?

No. Entering your Donor ID will help to link your new account to your donation history instantly. If you don’t know it, no worries, you can still schedule your donation today!

To find your Donor ID and for assistance linking your account, please reach out to our Donor Care Team.

Will my existing appointments in the old tool still be valid?

Yes, your upcoming appointments will transfer into the new system.

No appointments are showing for the drive/location I want.

The drive you’ve selected may be full, but check back in the event a new appointment becomes available. Our donor scheduling portal makes it easy to find other nearby appointments by adjusting your search options by distance, date range, or scheduling up to 4 months in advance. New drives are added weekly.
