Deadline: 5-Aug-22
The Donor Alliance Foundation is now accepting proposals from nonprofit community health-serving organizations, nonprofit hospitals, academic institutions and governmental agencies to support donation and transplantation efforts.
The Foundation funds efforts in Colorado and Wyoming that provide access to resources and education for those affected by organ and tissue donation and transplantation. We also support living donors and their families. To do this, we provide funding in three areas: Education, Family Assistance and Research (social and clinical), for a total of $200,000 in available grants.
The Donor Alliance Foundation will focus on addressing system barriers that prohibit people from receiving an organ and/or tissue transplant. The Foundation will do this by providing equitable and equal access to donation and transplantation resources through funding in three program areas: education, family assistance and research. It is The Foundation’s goal for everyone in Colorado and Wyoming to have equal and equitable access to donation and transplantation resources that enable the gift of life.
To do this, the plan is to:
- Provide access to donation and transplantation resources for underinsured, vulnerable, and socio-economically disadvantaged populations and those living in rural areas of Colorado and Wyoming who are eligible for a transplant or already on the transplant list
- Continue the emphasis on Family Assistance funding for transplant patients and families
- Seek applicants that are or planning to provide education to reach their audiences in new and innovative ways
- Remain nimble regarding changes or shifts needed to accomplish grantee goals or priorities
- Continued focus on Pancreas research and projects related to gathering data on the benefits of pancreas transplantation
