Living donation is a second chance at life.

We aspire to eliminate the shortage of organs for lifesaving transplants by being a trusted education resource for living organ donation and the leading provider of advocacy services for living donors.

The need for organs is vastly greater than the number available for transplantation.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

With such a huge deficit in the number of available donors, the task may seem overwhleming. But you can help, even if living donation itself isn’t a fit for you!

Donate Life Month PSA
April is Donate Life Month, and to celebrate the life-saving gift that is living donation, we put together some clips of our donors and recipients sharing their stories of how living donation has changed their lives.

NEW ON DEMAND WEBINAR

Living Organ Donation

LIVE WEBINAR NOVEMBER 18, 2026 at 1PM CST

Drawing on the presenter’s experiences as both a living kidney and living liver donor, the session will examine similarities and differences in evaluation, donation, recovery, and long-term engagement. Findings from the NKDO Living Donor Experience Survey will highlight strengths and gaps in donor support, particularly after donation. Participants will also learn about peer support, education, advocacy, and volunteer opportunities that transplant professionals can share with living donors who want additional support or continued involvement in the donation community.

An organ donor can save a life every 13 hours. The quality of life post donation doesn’t suffer a bit.

Living organ donation is an option. Most people don't know it has the best result, long term. In fact, many people get on dialysis before they know what the transplant options are.
