The Living Bank

The Living Bank was established in 1968 as the first organ donor registry in the Nation. Today we focus on living organ donation, specifically kidney and liver living donation. Our vision is for living organ donation to be widely known, understood, and available to those needing a lifesaving transplant, and for living donors to receive the independent advocacy and support they need before, during, and after transplantation. Our mission is to eliminate the shortage of organs for lifesaving transplants by being a trusted education resource for living organ donation and the leading provider of advocacy services for living donors.
