The Campaign to 'End the Wait'

The Mission

Nevada Donor Network Foundation’s mission is to support Nevada Donor Network in addressing critical healthcare challenges by raising funds and resources to expand organ, eye, and tissue donation programs, launch innovative initiatives to expand donation and transplantation and empower lifesaving programs through cutting-edge technology, education, and community outreach. 

Plans for expansion across the state are anticipated and will plug into existing hospital systems and infrastructure. Philanthropic funding from the community will primarily go into hiring healthcare transplant experts, purchasing equipment and covering the cost of patient care, including the procedure itself, until achieving CMS certification.

The Need

In Nevada, access to anything other than a kidney or pancreas transplant is not currently available. These critically ill patients must face the financial, physical and emotional burden of traveling to neighboring states to get the care they need or be placed on hospice. With a growing need for organs and a limited supply, most of the country (aside from Nevada) is in a situation where transplant centers must choose whom to transplant, who not to transplant and to take risks on lower-quality organs for transplant because there simply aren’t enough organs.

TOGETHER, WE CAN

End the Wait.
