Description
The Tri-Counties Blood Bank Fund Grant, administered by the Santa Barbara Foundation, provides annual funding to nonprofit organizations in Santa Barbara County for projects related to blood and blood products. The grant supports three main areas: indigent care (reimbursement to qualified hospitals for unreimbursed costs of providing blood or blood products to low-income patients), education (advancing medical technology, nursing, or transfusion medicine), and scholarships (post-doctoral and medical education in blood-related fields). The program encourages collaboration among healthcare providers and aims to enhance blood banking technology, practitioner education, and community awareness of blood-related issues.
