What We Do
As a non-profit organization, Donate Life North Carolina’s mission is to inspire all North Carolina residents to save and enhance lives by registering as organ, eye and tissue donors. Donate Life America is a not-for-profit alliance of national organizations and state teams, including Donate Life North Carolina, that are committed to increasing organ, eye and tissue donation. Our priority continues to be The Decision Project, which is all about empowering people to make an educated and inspired decision about organ, eye, and tissue donation and sharing that decision with their family. With a targeted focus on areas with low designation rates and support of communities of color (priority being African Americans), this campaign will take a grassroots approach and work directly with underserved groups/individuals and socially disadvantaged residents in our communities to: Educate about the need for organ donors. Enhance trust of the organ, eye, and tissue donation process. Share our message and dispel the many myths and misconceptions about donation. ​ Additionally, this campaign seeks to increase our outreach and sponsorship efforts to support the communities we serve.
