Help people understand the need and the innovative work UNOS is doing to increase transplants on your fundraising page with these fast facts.

• We have achieved a historic milestone of 1 million transplants; however, this work isn’t done — more than 100,000 people are still waiting, with more added each day.
• More than 40,000 organ transplants are performed each year, an average of 117 per day.*
• 17 lives are lost each day because they do not receive a transplant in time.
• You can help save more lives by investing in projects and research to increase the organ supply and increase efficiencies in the transplant system.

*Averages based on 2022 data.

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 117 lifesaving organ transplants. Unfortunately, on that same day, 17 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.

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.
