Did you know that more than over 270 people die every day waiting for an organ transplant because there are simply not enough organs available. MatchingDonors.com has become the world’s largest and most successful nonprofit organization promoting, registering, and finding living organ donors for people needing living organ donor transplants. MatchingDonors is a 501c3 nonprofit organization and the world’s largest online living organ donor organization; finding living organ donors for people needing organ transplants.  Currently, patients waiting for an organ donation are placed on a national waiting list through the government. A computer system matches patients to donor organs according to objective criteria such as blood and tissue type, immune status, medical urgency and time spent on the waiting list -the average time to receive a deceased organ is 7 to 12 years on this list. This ranking system determines which patients are offered available organs. This process is extremely important in anyone’s organ search, but MatchingDonors.com offers a way to enhance the search with a more active approach. Many patients receive their kidney transplant within six months of registering on MatchingDonors.com.
