Hoxworth HS Grant Program
Want to earn money for your school while saving lives?
Hoxworth Blood Center’s High School Grant Program makes it easy to do both. When your school hosts two or more blood drives during the school year and reaches your collection goals, you’ll earn a grant to support whatever matters most — student clubs, sports, events, or classroom needs.
How it works:
- Host two or more Hoxworth blood drives.
- Hit your collection goals.
- Receive your grant at the end of the school year!
We’ll total collections and notify schools of results by June. Your Hoxworth recruiter will help track progress and keep your drives on target.
By rallying your students, staff, and community to donate, your school can make a lifesaving impact — and earn funding that helps your students thrive. Together, we’re saving lives close to home.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does the Hoxworth High School Grant Program begin and end?
The program will run from the beginning of the academic year to the end—so roughly August 1 through May 31.
My school already hosts one blood drive each school year; are we eligible for this program?
Schools must host at least two blood drives each academic school year to be eligible for grants. Your Hoxworth Blood Drive Recruiter can help you schedule another blood drive during the academic year.
How can parents, family and alumni participate?
Parents who are not able to donate at school blood drives can have their donations counted toward their school by donating at one of Hoxworth’s seven Neighborhood Donor Centers and have that donation count toward their child’s school. Your blood drive recruiter can provide your school’s unique sponsor code.
When will results be calculated and announced?
Total collections will be tabulated following the end of the school year. Schools can expect to hear results by the end of June. You can always engage your Hoxworth recruiter to check on your progress towards earning a grant.
Who is eligible to donate blood?
Eligible individuals must be at least 17 years old (or 16 with parental consent), weigh at least 110 lbs., and feel generally well and healthy. Females under the age of 18 can donate once in 12-month period, while males under the age of 18 can donate twice in a 12-month period.
