Short Answer
The donor levels are recognition levels assigned according to a donor's BDOI Humanity Score™.
Each level represents a stage in the donor's recorded contribution and estimated potential impact according to the applicable BDOI® methodology.
The levels give donors an identity and a way to celebrate their continuing journey of blood and blood-component donation.
Detailed Explanation
The BDOI Humanity Score™ is calculated according to the applicable BDOI® methodology, including the recognized donation type and its corresponding impact value.
As a donor's eligible donation history grows, their BDOI Humanity Score™ may move them into a higher recognition level.
The recognition levels are designed to make a donor's journey easier to understand and celebrate.
They are not a measurement of a person's human worth, medical status or guaranteed number of patients treated.
For example:
BDOI Humanity Score™: 15
⭐ Rising Star
Your commitment is growing with every donation.
The donor level therefore provides a recognition identity associated with the donor's BDOI Humanity Score™.

These descriptions are recognition language. They should not be interpreted as medical classifications or as confirmation that a specific number of patients were treated or saved.
📈 Your next milestone
Where applicable, BDOI® may display the donor's progress toward the next recognition level.
For example:
BDOI Humanity Score™: 15
⭐ Rising Star
Next Milestone: 🩸 Iron Lifesaver — 50
Remaining: 35
Progress: 30%
This helps donors see where they are in their recognition journey and gives them a clear next milestone.
Donors should never donate solely to increase their BDOI Humanity Score™. Donations should always be made only when medically eligible and according to the guidance of an authorized blood bank or qualified medical professional.
🗓 Annual and Lifetime Recognition
Where BDOI® provides these features, donors may see separate recognition for their annual and lifetime contributions.
For example:
BDOI Humanity Score™ — 2026: 42
Lifetime BDOI Humanity Score™: 318
This allows BDOI® to celebrate both:
- current-year contribution, and
- long-term donor contribution.
The lifetime recognition remains a record of the donor's cumulative eligible contribution according to the applicable BDOI® methodology.
🏛️ Hall of Humanity
BDOI® may also recognize exceptional donors through a BDOI Hall of Humanity or similar recognition feature.
Where such a feature is available, participation and public display should be subject to the donor's applicable privacy and consent choices.
Recognition may include information such as:
- Donor name
- City
- Donor since
- BDOI Humanity Score™
- Donor level
- Years of contribution
The purpose is to celebrate role models and inspire responsible blood and blood-component donation.
Important Clarification
A higher BDOI Humanity Score™ or donor level does not mean that one person's humanity is greater than another person's.
Donors may have different:
- donation histories;
- donation types;
- opportunities to donate;
- eligibility periods;
- and circumstances.
The recognition system exists to celebrate contribution and encourage responsible participation, not to measure human worth.
Similarly, the BDOI Humanity Score™ and its associated recognition level do not represent:
- a medical qualification;
- medical fitness;
- a government award;
- a guaranteed number of lives saved;
- a confirmed number of patients treated;
- or a clinical outcome.
Key Points
- Donor levels are based on the applicable BDOI Humanity Score™ ranges.
- Each level gives donors a recognizable identity within BDOI®.
- Higher levels represent greater recorded contribution under the BDOI® methodology.
- The levels are designed for recognition and motivation.
- The BDOI Humanity Score™ may be influenced by the applicable donation type and its assigned impact value.
- A donor level does not represent medical status.
- It does not confirm that a particular number of patients were treated or saved.
- Donors should never donate solely to increase their BDOI Humanity Score™.
- Donor safety always comes first.
❤️ Motivation
Every donation adds to your journey. Every milestone tells a story. Your BDOI Humanity Score™ is a way to recognize the difference your giving may make.
