Donate Life America (formerly the Coalition on Donation) was founded by the transplant community in 1992 to educate the public about organ, eye and tissue donation and avoid duplication of effort. Its mission is to drive individuals, organizations and communities to increase the number of designated organ, eye and tissue donors who save and heal lives. DLA’s vision is a nation that embraces organ, eye and tissue donation as a fundamental human responsibility.

Donate Life America assists in mobilizing the transplant community to educate the American public on the need for organ, eye and tissue donation and motivating the public to make an actionable donor designation. Donate Life America publishes brochures, program kits and other materials; provides technical assistance and referral services; coordinates the National Campaign for Organ, Eye and Tissue Donation and identifies measurable best practices. It is comprised of national organizational members and state teams across the United States that coordinate donation related activities at the grassroots level.
