Celebrating National Donor Day 2025
The American Transplant Foundation has been connecting people to life for 20 years, going beyond awareness by providing real help to real families and making sure nobody goes through the transplant process alone.
Join us in celebrating National Donor Day! Today, we honor the selfless individuals who have given the Gift of Life and raise awareness about the lifesaving impact of organ donation. In 2024, an incredible 48,137 lives were saved by organ donation—the first time the U.S. has surpassed 48,000 transplants in a single year! We extend our deepest gratitude to the true heroes—living and deceased organ donors—who make this possible.
As we celebrate these remarkable individuals, we invite you to honor their legacy. Make a donation of any amount and choose from our NEW custom heartfelt eCards to send to an organ donor you know, or a person or family impacted by organ donation.
Every contribution fuels our Patient Assistance Program, a vital initiative that eliminates obstacles for living organ donors by compensating for lost wages during recovery. For transplant recipients, it directly helps patients in crisis with financial support to maintain the organ that keeps them alive!
Together, let's amplify the power of love and giving on this special day:
Become a hero – register as an organ donor today.
