Short Answer
Under the current BDOI® Humanity Score™ methodology, platelet donation and double red cell donation have the highest maximum points per donation, with each capable of contributing up to 4 Humanity Score™ points per donation.
Detailed Explanation
The current BDOI® scoring methodology assigns the following maximum points per donation:
| Donation Type |
Maximum Points |
| Platelet Donation (Apheresis) |
4 |
| Double Red Cell Donation |
4 |
| Whole Blood Donation |
3 |
| Directed Blood Donation |
3 |
| Plasma Donation |
2 |
| RBC Donation |
2 |
| Granulocyte Donation |
1 |
| Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Donation |
1 |
This does not mean that one type of donor is more humanitarian than another.
The scoring system is simply BDOI®'s methodology for assigning recognition points to different donation types.
The total lifetime score also depends on the number of eligible donations recorded in the donor's history.
Key Points
- Platelet donation has a maximum of 4 points per donation.
- Double red cell donation also has a maximum of 4 points per donation.
- Whole blood and directed blood donations have a maximum of 3 points.

❤️ Motivation
Different donations serve different needs. The score recognises contribution—not the worth of one donor over another. ❤️
