Donate Life Northwest is a regional nonprofit organization in the hospitals and health care sector, based in Portland, Oregon, and founded in 1975. It works to save lives and improve health by educating Pacific Northwesterners about organ, eye and tissue donation. The group serves as the public voice of donation for regional agencies and transplant centers, sharing factual information about donation options with the community and media to broaden awareness. It runs donation education for high school students through free in-class presentations and a curriculum focused on donation awareness. A community of volunteers—comprising families of deceased donors, living donors, recipients, and medical professionals—supports outreach, and the organization pursues Living Kidney Donation initiatives to educate multicultural audiences about kidney disease causes and options while coordinating with regional partners.
