Current FDA guidelines allow a maximum of 10.5 ml/kilogram body weight of whole blood to be collected every eight weeks. The majority of blood collection facilities use 500 ml whole blood bags, with an additional 50 ml (10%) allowed to be drawn for mandated screening tests. This volume equates with a body weight for blood donation of 110 lbs or more (with acceptable hematocrit/hemoglobin levels).

What is a donation?

A donation is a gift, often of money. The person who donates is called a donor. Those who give blood are called blood donors, though in the USA blood is bought and sold as a commercial transaction. The French for 'to give' is donner (pronounced dunnay). Sometimes there is no entry fee for an event or lecture, but a donation is requested. Then it is up to the visitor to decide how much to give, but usually it is a gold coin, that is, at least $2.
