Donate Life Tennessee

Donate Life Tennessee is the state-authorized non-profit organization responsible for managing the official organ, eye, and tissue donor registry in Tennessee. Established as a collaborative partnership between the state's two federally designated organ procurement organizations, Tennessee Donor Services and Mid-South Transplant Foundation, the entity serves as the central hub for donor registration. Its primary mission is to save and heal lives by increasing the number of registered donors through public education, community outreach, and strategic partnerships with state agencies. The organization works closely with the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security to facilitate donor designation during driver's license transactions. By maintaining a secure and accurate registry, Donate Life Tennessee ensures that an individual's decision to donate is legally documented and accessible to clinical teams at the time of need.
