American Transplant Foundation
- We help living donors to cover essential living expenses (i.e rent/mortgage) due to lost wages during recovery after surgery so they can heal without facing financial troubles.
- For transplant recipients, we help patients to keep the organ that keeps them alive by providing assistance to cover delinquent insurance premiums to prevent loss of insurance coverage, medication co-payments during insurance gap periods, and/or changes to insurance provider. NEW: As of April 24th, we are offering Emergency Grants – please read the guidelines below.

The NLDAC reimburses qualified living organ donors for expenses related to their evaluation, surgery, and follow-up visits. Qualified expenses include travel, housing, meals and incidentals, lost wages, and child-care and elder-care expenses.
