OPO List
What is an OPO?
Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs) are not-for-profit organizations responsible for recovering organs from deceased donors for transplantation. In the United States, there are 57 OPOs, each mandated by federal law to perform this life-saving mission in their assigned donation service area.
Although living kidney donation is the quickest way to reduce the number of people on the waitlist, NKDO encourages everyone to join their local OPO and register as an organ donor. NKDO has partnered with the OPOs listed below. Please visit their websites for more information.
