About Donation

The Gift of Life

Organ and tissue donation is literally the gift of life — a gift that you or your loved one gives so someone else can live a longer, healthier life. One simple decision – becoming a registered donor — gives hope to those in need of donated organs and tissue.

Giving the gift of life is also a process you and your family deserve to understand clearly. Visit each of the pages below to learn more about what registration means, how donation works, what families can expect, and how Live On Nebraska supports donors and families throughout the process.

Organ Donation

One deceased organ donor can save up to eight lives, giving hope to the 100,000+ people in the United States in need of a transplant.

Tissue Donation

More than 100 people can benefit from a single tissue donor. See how donated tissues save, heal and restore millions of people each year.

Birth Tissue Donation

The same tissue that nourishes a baby for nine months can provide healing to others after birth. Learn about the healing power of placental donation.
