We're thrilled to announce that ImpactLife is teaming up with Give STL Day for the very first time! This beloved community giving event returns on May 8, 2025, with early giving starting April 23.
Since 2014, Give STL Day has brought together thousands of generous hearts, raising over $34 million for local nonprofits. Now, we're bringing our lifesaving mission alongside this powerful day of community support. Every day, ImpactLife helps connect blood donors with patients in need across four states, supplying over 120 hospitals through our 23 donor centers and 5,000+ mobile drives each year.
About Give STL Day
Give STL Day offers a secure, simple way to support local nonprofits you care about. Your gift goes directly to your chosen organization (minus an optional 2.7% platform fee and processing costs). The early giving window from April 23 through May 7 gives you plenty of time to explore causes and schedule your support.
Why Community Partnerships Matter to Us
At ImpactLife, we believe deeply in the power of local support. Partnerships like Give STL Day embody what we're all about—neighbors helping neighbors and building stronger, healthier communities together. When we join hands with other community-focused organizations, we multiply our impact in ways that truly change lives.
This community-centered approach is at the heart of everything we do, including our popular LifeSavings Grant Program. Through this special initiative, we partner with local schools hosting blood drives and give back $250 plus $1 per donation to support their important work—whether that's funding student scholarships, classroom needs, or charitable causes they care about. Just like Give STL Day, our LifeSavings program creates a beautiful circle of giving that strengthens our entire community.
These partnerships create beautiful ripple effects throughout our communities. "At Fulton High School, our blood drive was more than just an event—it was a chance for our students and staff to come together and make a lasting impact on our community," another partner told us. "Through the LifeSavings School Grant Program, we earned grant money that supported logistics, encouraged participation, and helped us collect a record number of blood donations and school supplies for learning materials."
