The Living Bank

The Living Bank is a U.S.-based nonprofit healthcare organization focused on living organ donation education, donor advocacy, and transplant-related professional support. Founded in 1968, it describes itself as the nation’s first organ donor registry and now concentrates on eliminating the shortage of organs for lifesaving transplants through public education and donor services. Its core offerings include advocacy for living donors, educational programming, and the Independent Living Donor Advocate Network, an online continuing-education and community resource for transplant professionals. The organization operates as a service and education provider rather than a drug developer, so it does not have a traditional therapeutic pipeline.
