Partner Highlight: FAIR Foundation
The FAIR Foundation’s mission is to drive reforms through educational outreach and improve legislation in order to promote policies and activities that increase the availability, access and health equity of solid organ transplantation in the United States.
The FAIR Foundation is working to change USA organ-donor policy to make more organs available for transplant. This includes but is not limited to lifting the NOTA ban on compensation for living organ donors, living kidney donors in particular. They believe financial incentives for living kidney donors and the families of deceased donors will alleviate America’s organ-donor shortage.
They also provide educational/emotional support for liver and kidney patients and referral for transplant when appropriate.
