DonorUA

What DonorUA does

DonorUA is a Ukrainian civil society organization (nonprofit) founded in 2014 by Iryna Slavynska and Oleksandr Krakovetsky, operating the largest automated blood donor recruitment and management system in Ukraine. Its core platform (app.donor.ua) maintains a registered donor base of 225,980+ individuals, uses an algorithmic matching system that reduced donor search time from 2-3 days to approximately 20 minutes, and processes patient requests routed from 22 blood centers and healthcare partners. The technical stack runs on Microsoft Azure (via Microsoft for Nonprofits grants), with YouScan powering regional blood-need monitoring across social channels. Product surface includes the individual Donor Cabinet, Bloodpedia educational content, an eligibility test, the bonus loyalty program, and contests; on the B2B side it offers DonorUA for Teams (a freemium corporate platform with Pro/Premium tiers), turnkey corporate donor day event services, and custom business integrations.

The organization monetizes through a hybrid of paid corporate donor day services, recurring corporate sponsorship (notably MHP and PUMB), international grants (Global Blood Fund, Our Blood Institute, Operation SafeDrop/MAD Foundation, EU Resilience Programme), individual donations, and project-based blood transportation logistics for frontline hospitals. It also operates a network of volunteer coordinators across 25 Ukrainian cities and runs physical projects — including "Your Blood Can Fight" (Tvoia krov peremozhe) frontline transport, monthly "Add Some Red" (Doday chervonoho) mobile donations at Radisson Blu hotels in Kyiv, the My Blood Group (Moya grupa krovi) EldonCard testing campaign, and the annual DonorUA Awards ceremony on World Blood Donor Day. The platform holds "recommended by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine" status (since 2022) and signed a formal Memorandum of Cooperation with the MOH in 2024, with the co-founder embedded on the MOH Operational HQ for wartime blood coordination. DonorUA is a small organization — only 8 paid employees — leaning heavily on volunteers, corporate event sponsors, and tech grants rather than SaaS revenue; its competitive position rests on scale (network and data), regulatory endorsement, and a dense partner ecosystem across hospitality, retail, IT, banking, and public health.

Scale indicators11 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• American Red Cross Blood Services: The American Red Cross Blood Services is the dominant US blood collector, running nationwide donor recruitment, mobile drives, and hospital supply. Much larger than DonorUA and a broader humanitarian organization, but overlapping in core mission and operating model.

Regional players

• Sanquin Blood Supply Foundation: Sanquin is the Netherlands' national blood-bank nonprofit, responsible for collecting, processing, and distributing blood. Comparable in operating model as a national nonprofit blood collector, but serving a different geography.
• NHS Blood and Transplant: NHSBT manages blood and organ donation across the UK. Comparable mission and structure (national blood-donor recruitment and supply), but state-affiliated and UK-only.

Direct peers

• OneBlood: OneBlood is a large nonprofit blood center serving the southeastern US, operating donor recruitment and mobile donation programs. Directly comparable as a regional blood-center nonprofit with similar donor-community engagement.
• Vitalant: Vitalant is one of the largest nonprofit blood service providers in the US, operating blood donor recruitment, collection, and distribution. Directly comparable to DonorUA in mission, donor-recruitment focus, and nonprofit/non-remunerated donation model.
• New York Blood Center: NYBC is a large nonprofit blood collection and research organization serving the New York region, combining donor recruitment, community programs, and hospital supply. Highly comparable mission and community-engagement model to DonorUA, though at a much larger scale.

Emerging players

• Benevity: Benevity is a leading corporate CSR and employee-engagement platform, similar in concept to DonorUA for Teams — companies use it to organize, track, and report on employee volunteering and giving programs. Adjacent peer in the corporate-purpose / employee-engagement software category.
• Bloodbuy: Bloodbuy is a US-based technology platform connecting hospitals with blood suppliers, analogous to DonorUA's algorithmic matching of supply with demand. Smaller and more focused on the supply-chain layer; an emerging peer in blood-marketplace technology.

Others

• Octapharma Plasma: Octapharma Plasma operates a global network of plasma donation centers recruiting and compensating donors. Comparable donor-recruitment operations in the broader blood-products space, but focused on paid plasma rather than volunteer whole-blood donation.
• Global Blood Fund: Global Blood Fund is a UK-registered charity that DonorUA receives grants from. It works internationally to support voluntary blood donation in low- and middle-income countries, making it both a partner and a thematically adjacent peer in the global blood-donor-development ecosystem.
