National Donate Life Month

NDLM is designed to help encourage Americans to register as organ, eye, and tissue donors and to celebrate those who have saved lives through the gift of donation.

National Donate Life Month (NDLM) is a month-long observance throughout April, and we hope you’ll join us in celebrating this important time.
