Organ Donation Campaign

National Organ & Tissue Donation Awareness Month

Every year, far too many people lose their lives to kidney disease. Although there is currently no cure for it, a kidney transplant is often the best form of treatment for many patients. Unfortunately, the number of people in need of a donor kidney far outweighs the number of available donors.

The Kidney Foundation takes a lead on encouraging people to make a positive decision about organ donation and engages in opportunities to amplify other campaigns about this important decision.

Learn more about organ donation. Talk to your family about your decision.

We are proud partners of Green Shirt Day, held annually on April 7.

The Kidney Foundation is also a partner in the Living Donor Circle of Excellence. Learn more about this important commitment to supporting living donors and get your company involved.
