Donor Recruitment: A Match for Every PatientHope for every familyBone marrow and cord blood transplants are a life-changing treatment for people with leukemia, lymphoma and many other diseases. Transplant may be a patient’s best and only hope of a cure. But a transplant is possible only with a suitably matched donor.Finding a matchThe National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) is working to provide hope and deliver a cure to all patients in need. Millions have joined our Registry as volunteer bone marrow donors. Yet there are still many patients waiting and hoping, unable to find a match, especially patients from racially and ethnically diverse communities. To learn more, see The Need for Donors.We need to add more diverse donors to our Registry to increase the likelihood that all patients will find a suitable match. You can help us reach our goal and bring hope to every family. Helping recruit diverse donorsOn average, the cost of tissue typing to add each new donor to the NMDP Registry starts at $52. This tissue typing is needed to match donors and patients.The Marrow Foundation® serves the NMDP by securing private resources to cover tissue-typing costs to make joining our Registry possible for everyone. When you donate money, you support our donor recruitment effort and help add more donors — and especially more racially and ethnically diverse donors — to our Registry: contribute now. Corporate partners: critical to our effortsWe need your individual support. And we need the help of corporations to reach employees and the public and cover the costs of adding them to the NMDP Registry.Bone marrow donors recruited through corporate partnerships are among the most committed in the world. The growing diversity of the U.S. workforce helps us meet the needs of patients from diverse racial and ethnical backgrounds. Learn more:
