A nationwide database quickly identifies the best match for an organ and a transplant recipient.
Donor Alliance helps facilitate the recovery and transportation of the donor’s gifts to transplant centers in a safe and timely manner.
Donor Alliance walks alongside families and honors their loved one’s lifesaving and healing gifts.
Who is Donor Alliance?
You can help save and heal lives.
Our mission is to save and heal lives through organ and tissue donation and transplantation throughout Colorado and most of Wyoming. Donor Alliance honors a person’s decision to give the gift of life by respectfully working with the families of organ and tissue donors and maintaining partnerships with hospitals. Donor Alliance also educates residents in Colorado and Wyoming on the lifesaving benefits of organ and tissue donation. In addition, Donor Alliance manages the Donate Life Colorado and Donate Life Wyoming registries. The registry is a confidential, first-person authorization list of a person’s decision to give the gift life. By registering your decision, you are giving hope to those who are awaiting lifesaving and healing transplants.
Stories of Hope
"Not just because of the job I do, but as a human it really motivated me to be better, to be kinder, and to think about others because I can have the greatest gift even though I don’t have all the riches I want, but I have time with my son and things I love within my reach," said Aris.
“It saves a life and gives a person more life," said Sherri. "You don’t realize what that means until it knocks on your door. But I feel like it shouldn’t have to knock on your door to understand it’s truly about saving someone’s life and giving them more life.”
“Because of my transplant, I am alive,” Jason reflected. “And I couldn’t be alive without my donor. I’m thankful for every day I wake up and can honor my donor family by keeping their loved one’s memory alive—by staying strong and helping others whenever I can.”
