Overview
Mission
Connecting the pre and post transplant community and empowering patients and their families facing the need for an organ transplant and living life afterwards.
What it reported doing in 2025
TRIO conducted over 100 online peer to peer counseling sessions for pre and post transplant recipients so that patients from all over the U.S. could talk about their issues have been extremely helpful to hundreds of individuals. In addition, TRIO also conducted separate bimonthly sessions for caregivers of transplant recipients, who do not usually have a forum to discuss their different and separate experiences. TRIO has begun a transformation of its vital post-transplant cancer website to update the information so that recipients have access to this important and specialized information which is a major problem for patients after transplant. TRIO managed a team of almost 300 transplant athletes and their supporters who traveled to Dresden, Germany for the 2025 World Transplant Games. Team USA finished 3rd among the 50 countries represented at this Olympic-style event.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 95% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
