National Donor Day
National Donor Day is a time to promote all types of donation – organ, eye, tissue, blood, platelets and marrow – by participating in blood/marrow drives or donor registration events.
Have you or a loved one been touched by organ donation or transplantation? Are you inspired to share that experience and encourage others to check the box and say yes to donation? With a gift today, you ensure that donor families are given comfort and care at a time of grief and sudden loss for as long as they need.
Make a financial contribution today and support our mission to offer hope and healing through organ, eye and tissue donation.
Would you like to honor someone who has received a life-transforming transplant, or celebrate a special life event? A tribute gift is a meaningful way to honor them.
Donate Life Ambassadors are the cornerstone of our public education efforts. As an Ambassador, you can volunteer your time to selflessly share your stories and inspire others to register as organ, eye and tissue donors.
We are proud to welcome you as one of more than 230 Donate Life Ambassadors in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. Your commitment and dedication to the life-saving message of organ, eye, and tissue donation and transplantation will give others a new chance in life.
My most satisfying moment [as an Ambassador] has been changing the minds of several people who had never considered donation. When they contacted me and said, because of me speaking with them, they are now donors – that was a very proud moment for me! Being an ambassador helps get the word out to people who normally wouldn’t understand the importance of donation!
