National Foundation for Transplants

What we aim to solve: To eliminate healthcare inefficiencies that influence socio-economic costs associated with receiving lifesaving organs, tissue, related treatment and supporting care that affect transplant patients and their families.

We're able to reach out and help more transplant patients by:
--building strong relationships with transplant centers across the country so the staff at each center understands the importance of their patients fundraising through a reputable, effective organization
--cultivating an active online presence so patients and their families can quickly access information about NFT and how to reach us
--staying up to date about important, relevant things happening in the world of transplantation

We spread the message of organ and tissue donation by:
--participating in community outreach through our annual 5K and a partnership with a local hockey team
--visiting high schools and encouraging students/parents to become registered donors

We can meet these goals through effective, helpful marketing materials for the transplant centers, as well as an up-to-date, user-friendly website. We also interact with patients, families and supporters through our Facebook page in an effort to stay connected and personal. We also have established relationships with local high schools that allow us to reach out to their students with our message of organ and tissue donation.

Since 1983, NFT has helped our fundraising campaigns generate nearly $82 million to help transplant patients in need, and we have reached more than 200,000 people with our message of organ and tissue donation.
