Mission
The International Association for Organ Donation
works to educate and promote the importance of organ
and tissue donation. The organization executes
public outreach programs and distributes educational
materials targeted at ethnically diverse communities
locally and abroad in order to attract additional
donors to the registry. In an effort to eliminate
the waitlist, the organization also strives to
create innovative methods of decreasing cases of
organ failure due to preventable causes and provides
assistance to donor/recipient families.
Vision
We see a world where those who need an organ
transplant have ready access to organs, tissue, or
bone marrow.
We see a world where willing organ donors are
available to meet the need for transplantation of
organs, tissues, or bone marrow.
We see a united community that understands the
special needs of racial and ethnic minorities for
organ transplants and supports broad-based
educational efforts to ensure the health of the
entire community.
We see aggressive educational initiatives by the
IAOD securing deep understanding of the need for
organ donors by the general population coupled with
a willingness to become organ donors.
