Mission

Saving lives through organ, eye and tissue donation.

What it reported doing in 2024

Organ procurement and placement for transplant and research. Medicare cost reimbursement for renal organs; reimbursement for extra-renal organ procurement and other program service including research organs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 99% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
