HRSA's Division of Transplantation (DoT) funds various grant projects to increase awareness about the need for organ, eye, and tissue donors.
HRSA investments in living organ donor support
On August 11, 2025, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) announced two new investments to expand outreach, education and financial support for living organ donors, reinforcing its commitment to improving access to organ transplantation and supporting those who choose to give the gift of life through living donation.
The National Living Donor Assistance Center (NLDAC) received funding to continue providing financial assistance to living organ donors through HRSA’s Living Organ Donation Reimbursement Program (LODRP). If you’re eligible, you may be able to get help paying for travel, lodging, meals, childcare, and lost wages. Additionally, for the first time, HRSA awarded funding for targeted outreach and public education efforts under the Public Education for Living Organ Donation Reimbursement Program. As part of this new initiative, Health Literacy Media will collaborate with clinical and community-based partners to raise awareness about financial support available to living organ donors through HRSA’s LODRP.
