Our Mission
Commonwealth Transfusion Foundation (CTF) is a non-profit, private foundation whose mission is to support Virginia based transfusion and healthcare initiatives.
Commonwealth Transfusion Foundation is not a blood center, nor are we affiliated with any blood center. We are a freestanding private foundation dedicated to advancing the art and science of transfusion medicine.
Our History
