Who we are
Donor Alliance is the non-profit organ and tissue procurement agency for Colorado and most of Wyoming. By respectfully working with the families of organ and tissue donors, maintaining partnerships with hospitals, educating residents and inspiring them to sign up on donor registries, we are able to save lives through organ and tissue donation and transplantation.
Against all odds
A note from our leaders
While 2020 will largely be remembered for the time we all physically spent apart, we should all be proud of the way our organization and community came together. Like most organizations, 2020 was challenging for Donor Alliance, but despite all of the hurdles and pivots, we were able to mitigate the harshest impacts of the pandemic together to record our most successful, lifesaving year yet.
We are honored by the generosity of our donors and their families. We remain grateful for the collaboration of our incredible partners, and the resiliency and determination of our staff and volunteers, which allowed us to continue propelling our mission and advocating for donation and transplantation. Of course, none of our work would be possible without the generosity of donors and their families, who give the gift of life.
For the first time in a single year, more than 600 lives were saved through kidney, liver, heart, lung and pancreas transplants. We saw a 13% increase in organ donors and facilitated more organ transplants than ever by 4%. Despite this record-breaking success, we are reminded that there are thousands of people right here in our community waiting for a lifesaving transplant. Our dedication to educate, inspire and collaborate with our partners and communities remains steadfast.
Thank you for your partnership and dedication to helping save lives through organ and tissue donation and transplantation.
