103,223 men, women, and children are currently on the national transplant waiting list. Every 8 minutes a person is added.

Becoming an organ donor saves lives. In 2023, there were 46,632 organ transplants performed from both living and deceased donors. (It was a record setter!)

Finding organ donor matches is challenging because blood and tissue types need to match. This is why a diverse donor pool is so important.
