Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

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.

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
