Help us raise money by making a donation. The Foundation hopes to raise 1 million Euros in it's first year. This will give us a good start in
realising some ambitious longer term goals and allow us to achieve the
first year plans to establish the International School of Transfusion
Medicine, support some educational courses and set up the consultant
database.
Some money would also fund fellowships. Of course we do want to achieve the continuation of the programmes we set in place and so the Foundation is looking for a commitment (subject to annual review) beyond the first year.
