Is there any religion that does not allow their followers to donate blood?

I believe the Jahovah's Witness Church does not allow people to give or receive blood, but I am not sure what their reason is.

no--it would not be safe either from you or the person you are donating to

I don't know if it is on paper, but I am sure Fundamental Christians don't agree with blood transfusions at ALL. They feel "God will provide", and I assume, bleed to death. \n*same goes for organ transplants

They don't do it with Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, or Islam.  It must be something about Christianity.

To my knowledge, it isn't forbidden. Some people may not agree with it themselves, but I don't think there is anything that says it is not allowed. I even know of a couple who are inter-racially married(and have kids) that go to a local Baptist church.

Yes, I do give food and clothing to the poor and needy...I don't believe in god...but I also don't believe in letting people starve....I do object though to organizations that I have given money to--repeatedly mailing me and asking for more money( I feel as if the money I gave all went to paper and postage); and I feel insulted when they say that they will pray for me. I don't want that.

Blood sacrifice/vegetable sacrifice  God rejected the one and accepted the other.  You come to God on his terms or not at all.  The commandment was a blood sacrafice. \nHeb 9:22  And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission of sin.

Not in particular Order: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism. \n\nSome minor religions( in terms of followers) would be : Jainism, Sikhism (2 offshoots of Hinduism along with Buddhism), Shintoism.\n\nMy knowledge here isn't vast, so if somebody has more ideas, do add them!

Yes, you're absolutely right.\n\nMy husband and I can't give blood because of earlier health problems, but my (grown up) children do.\n\nEven the youngest, who is TERRIFIED of needles. She does it because other donors saved her dad's life.

No, because the people who cling to a religion are people who need discipline and restraint in their lives. Underneath all that "Jesus loves me!" euphoria they hang on to deep fears of divine wrath. Without their religion to hold them back, I honestly believe some of them would have no qualms about murder, rape, stealing, etc.

I think someone in a lab coat was probably not in need of monetary help.  I think someone fasting in the desert was spiritually avoiding food and they were ok.  I want my tithing to go to someone in need, be it financial or spiritual.

They do but it is unusual. In some countries and religions it is considered `unclean' and very against the faith so it is definately not the norm. If you are uncomfortable with it do not do it!

There are several. Look to organizations that are run as religious groups, or who support a cause that is in common with yours. Some examples include the MANY companies that are mormon owned and run, who give countless dollars to mormon schools and BYU.

Private donations, and offerings from congregation. separation of church and state makes it, illegal for state local, or federal , governments to give financial aid

no cause that would be against what ever made up religion they are practicing
