Many people die each day waiting for a life-saving organ transplant that doesn’t come in time. More organ donors could save these lives.
While you can indicate your desire to donate your organs on your driver's license and by signing and carrying an organ donor card, some states require family consent prior to donation. That’s why it’s important to let your family know about your wishes.
There are many ways you can promote organ donation in your community and in the workplace. There are also many ways to educate the public about the urgent need for organ donation, including utilizing a speaker from our National Speakers Bureau or using promotional materials from Donate Life America.
When you choose to make a donation to support UNOS' efforts to advance organ availability and transplantation, your gift is 100% tax deductible. UNOS' programs include the National Donor Memorial, UNOS Foundation and the Hume-Kauffman Transplantation Library and Archives . Learn more
