National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP)

The National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) is a nonprofit organization that helps connect patients with blood cancers, like leukemia, to volunteer donors who can provide life-saving bone marrow or blood stem cells. Through a registry, the NMDP facilitates the matching process, ensuring that patients find compatible donors. The program also raises awareness about the importance of donation and supports patients throughout their treatment journey. By increasing the number of registered donors, the NMDP aims to improve survival rates for those needing transplants.
