Overview

Mission

Dedicated to the goal of providing optimal organ transplantation to all in need. Since its inception in 1987, the foundation sought to improve the care and treatment of those diagnosed with end-stage organ disease through advances in organ transplant medicine and expansion of services to transplant patients. Approximately 2,300 people benefited from programs.

What it reported doing in 2016

Educational services-public education was an integral part of the organization's donor awareness program. The overall objectives of public education efforts were to increase public awareness of the need of organ donors, dispel cultural myths and superstitions, change negative attitudes, increase confidence in donations, enlist more potential donors, and obtain more organ donations. These objectives were achieved through the education of college and high school students about the organ donation process and by providing materials and volunteer staff for health fairs and community event booths. The organization also facilitated organ and tissue donations by sponsoring two annual transplant forums to provide information to medical professionals, health care workers, patients and their families.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 66% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
