Giving Blood For Money

According to the American Red Cross, three out of every 100 Americans donate blood. This is a small number compared to the amount of people who require blood. While many give blood for humanitarian reasons, others seek opportunities to donate blood for money. However, donating blood for money does not come without a list of prerequisites, which include proof of excellent health and no use of drugs or alcohol. Also, many places offer money for the extraction of plasma from blood. Across the country, a number of places pay more than once for these services.The Biolife Plasma Center is located in several states across the nation. One of the more generous centers is located in Salt Lake City, Utah and open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The center allows individuals to make as much as $200 monthly for donations. For the first blood donation, $25 is given; $35 is given for the second donation (as of 2010). As an incentive to encourage others to donate, the center offers you $10 for your referral's second donation.
