My Nonprofit Reviews

For 5+ years I've been proud to be associated with the National Foundation for Transplants (@NFT) as a member of the Board of Directors, during which time the organization has assisted many thousands of transplant patients via fundraising assistance, advocacy for organ donation, and related healthcare solutions (e.g., living donor support). A small, well led (and big-hearted) staff sees to it that patient interest remains front and center at all times.

I would hasten to point out that organ failure is not just something that affects others... Every one of us is a car wreck, or a little bad luck away from needing a transplant, at which point we instantly become reliant on the kindness of strangers. While amazing transplant teams work life-saving miracles daily, their reach is limited by the supply of donated organs and funds required for patient travel and a lifetime of required anti-rejection medications. Sadly, approximately twenty Americans die daily awaiting a transplant that didn't come soon enough.

Help us help them, please. I know of no better or higher purpose for charitable giving, hence I support NFT with my own time, talent, money, and unabashedly ask others to do the same. The NFT staff and board would be pleased to entertain your questions and yes, contributions. Please join us.
