Potential living donors may decide not to donate because of money challenges. Programs can help living donors with out-of-pocket expenses, but many employers do not have policies that help donors with time off or lost wages.
The National Living Donor Assistance Center (NLDAC) can help eligible organ donors and their caregivers with financial help for:
- Travel
- Lodging
- Meals
- Expenses during evaluation appointments, hospitalization, and follow-up clinic visits (usually within 2 years, sometimes more)
- Lost wages
- Dependent care expenses
Eligibility is based on household income. Learn more about NLDAC.
Visit the American Society for Transplantation Living Donor Circle of Excellence to find a list of companies that give financial help to living organ donation. If your employer is not on the list, share information about the Circle of Excellence with them.
