Learn more about UNOS


The United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) is the private, non-profit organization that manages the nation's organ transplant system under contract with the federal government.

UNOS is involved in many aspects of the organ transplant and donation process including managing the national transplant waiting list; matching donors to recipients 24 hours a day, 365 days a year; and maintaining the database that contains all organ transplant data for every transplant event that occurs in the U.S.  

UNOS is also actively involved in assisting patients and family members and educating the public about the importance of organ donation. More information is available at http://www.unos.org

Your tax-deductible gift will help UNOS in its ongoing mission to:
  • maximize the number of individuals who benefit from organ transplants
  • reduce waiting times and waiting list fatalities
  • improve transplant outcomes and enhance quality of life among recipients
  • provide impartial data and resources to patients and their families
  • support outcomes-based clinical practice and research

10% of all charitable donations go to support administrative costs associated with fundraising.
