Donor Network West is a federally designated nonprofit organ procurement and tissue recovery organization serving Northern California and Northern Nevada. Established in 1987, the organization operates as a 501(c)(3) and coordinates the recovery and allocation of organs and tissues for transplantation and research, supporting patients across 45 counties. Its work hinges on partnerships with a broad network of hospitals, medical professionals, funeral homes, and coroner and medical examiner offices, enabling donors and their families to contribute to lifesaving medical use. Based in San Ramon, California, Donor Network West participates in national and regional programs through affiliations with Donate Life California and Nevada, the American Association of Tissue Banks, and the United Network for Organ Sharing. The organization has recently engaged in collaborative efforts to expand access to viable donated organs and tissues for research, exemplified by a five-year partnership with the University of California, San Francisco, to develop scalable models for real-time research use.
