Blood banks and nonprofit organizations that host donation drives need to coordinate appointment slots across multiple collection sites while screening donor eligibility and maintaining accurate contact records.
The Blood Drive Appointment Form Template from WPForms helps organizers collect donor details, schedule appointments, display available donation locations on an interactive map, and screen eligibility in one form.
Exploring the Blood Drive Appointment Form Template
This template works for blood banks, hospitals, community health organizations, Red Cross chapters, or any group hosting multi-site donation events. Here’s what’s included:
- Donor Name (First + Last): Captures the donor’s full name for appointment records and confirmation messages.
- Donor Email: Provides a contact point for sending appointment confirmations, reminders, or last-minute location changes.
- Donor Phone: Gives organizers a direct line for day-of coordination or rescheduling needs.
- Donor Address (Address Line 1, Address Line 2, City, State, Zip Code): Collects full mailing address for donor records and follow-up correspondence.
- Preferred Appointment Date and Time (Date + Time): Lets donors pick their preferred donation slot so organizers can manage capacity and staffing.
- Choose Location (Map Field): Displays multiple blood drive sites on an interactive map with radio button selection so donors can pick the most convenient location.
- Preferred Donation Type (Dropdown): Lets donors indicate whether they prefer whole blood, platelets, plasma, or double red cell donation (if applicable).
- Have you donated blood before? (Multiple Choice): Screens donor experience (Yes / No / Not sure / I can’t recall) to help staff prepare for first-time or returning donors.
- If yes, when was your most recent donation? (Single Line Text): Tracks donation frequency to ensure donors meet eligibility wait times between donations.
- Donor Age (Number): Confirms age eligibility for blood donation (typically 16+ with parental consent or 18+ depending on state regulations).
Customizing the Map Experience (Geolocation Addon + Map Field)
The Choose Location field uses the Map Field to display multiple blood drive sites and let donors select their preferred location.
It requires WPForms Pro or higher and the Geolocation Addon configured with a valid Google Maps or Mapbox API key. This template is pre-configured with Allow Location Selection enabled, which means:
- Multiple locations required: You must add 2+ donation sites using the repeater tool. Each location supports a unique Location Name, Address (with autocomplete via Google Places or Mapbox Search), and Marker.
- Show List of Locations is automatically enabled when you turn on Allow Location Selection, displaying location names and addresses beneath the map with radio buttons for donor selection.
- Zoom behavior: Because this template uses multiple locations, the map auto-fits all markers into view and the zoom dropdown becomes disabled.
Additional Customization Options:
- Custom markers: Use the Icon Library with color picker for a branded look or upload a custom marker image (useful for distinguishing mobile blood drive buses from permanent clinic locations).
- Cleaner map controls: If you want a simpler “pick a location” display, you can hide fullscreen, map type, street view, camera control, zoom buttons, or disable dragging and mouse zooming to limit interactions.
- Nearby bias (optional): “Find Nearby Location” can be enabled to use browser geolocation and bias autocomplete results toward the donor’s area, helping donors identify which drive site is closest.
