CHECK THE BOX to Save & Heal Lives.
You can make a difference like Ryan did, and register as an organ, eye and tissue donor the next time you are at the DMV. Your decision can save up to 8 lives and heal up to 75 more.
Can You Sell Organs in the United States?
Donor Alliance is occasionally asked whether someone can sell their organs or receive some form of financial incentive for donating them. In short, the answer is NO. The National Organ Transplant Act, which was passed in 1984, makes it illegal to sell or buy human organs and tissues in the United States.

Stories of Hope
“Because of my transplant, I am alive,” Jason reflected. “And I couldn’t be alive without my donor. I’m thankful for every day I wake up and can honor my donor family by keeping their loved one’s memory alive—by staying strong and helping others whenever I can.”
“No ‘thank you’ could properly display my gratitude for receiving such a gift,” said Julia. “Hopefully, through my actions, by living my most authentic life, and through giving back I can show my gratitude.”
“I sometimes think, ‘There’s someone out there who was given a gift because of him.’ His eyes are out there somewhere,” said Anna. “It’s a really comforting thought. I think of those people, whether I know them or not, that have a piece of him and how he has made their life better.”
