Blood from paid donors cannot be used in the United States for transfusion purposes. This is an FDA regulation, studies show that volunteer donors provide a safer blood supply. Plasma is the only component for which donors are sometimes paid, and it is taken by the apheresis method. Plasma can be treated for safety in ways that blood cells cannot. Plasma taken from paid donors is generally treated and processed by pharmaceutical companies into drugs. It cannot be transfused in the form of cryoprecipitate or fresh frozen plasma.

Often however, donation sites give out small rewards like a shirt or coupons.
