Your gift saves lives. Thanks for your support!

"We are so grateful for Emma’s donor, Lori. She was able to share life with Emma, and now we are able to share Emma’s life with her."

— Tricia, mother of Emma, living liver recipient

"There are not enough words to describe how grateful I am for my donor and her family. She not only saved my life, but my family’s life too."

"It takes everyone working together to make the miracle of organ donation happen."

— Tim and JoAnn, parents of Luke, organ donor

Over 100,000 people in the U.S. are waiting for an organ transplant. Organ transplantation doesn’t just save lives, it transforms them — and you can be a part of that journey.

This #LifeGivingTuesday, you helped us give more chances to grow up, to graduate, to fall in love, to follow dreams, to hold a first grandchild.

Your generosity helps us save more lives and create a brighter, healthier future. Your donation, no matter the size, will make a profound difference for the thousands of individuals waiting for their second chance at life.

Thank you for giving!

Every dollar given on on Giving Tuesday saves lives. You can still help give more children and adults the second chance they deserve.

Why does my gift matter?

Your giving saves lives. Currently, more than 100,000 people are waiting for an organ transplant in the United States. Every day, there are an average of 127 organ transplants.* Unfortunately, on that same day, people will die before their match is made. Your support funds initiatives to close this gap, getting us closer to our vision of a lifesaving transplant for everyone in need.

What does my support do?

Your gift to UNOS invests in solutions to save more lives by making our nation’s transplant system more equitable and effective. These solutions reduce patient wait time, enhance recipient quality of life, and increase the number of transplants for the thousands of children and adults with end-stage organ failure on the waiting list.

Charitable gifts support the National Donor Memorial, and Transplant Living — free educational materials provided to patients and their families to help them navigate the complexities of transplant.
