Who We Are
The Donor Alliance Foundation
Welcome to The Donor Alliance Foundation, where we believe that organ and tissue donation and transplantation are human gifts that save lives and that all those affected by donation deserve to be acknowledged, supported and given access to resources that enable the gift of life. 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.

Empowering Lives
Breaking Down Barriers to Organ and Tissue Transplants in 2024
In 2024, we will continue our focus on community impact by addressing system barriers that prohibit people from receiving an organ and/or tissue transplant. We 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.
New this cycle! Due to the high need in our service area, we have increased our annual funding opportunity by $25,000, for a total of $225,000 in available grant funds for the 2024-2025 grant cycle.
So, what does it take to apply? We want to understand how your project will meet the needs of vulnerable populations. Does it demonstrate how it will address Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in its scope? 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.
Our grant application window is now open, and we are accepting applications! Visit our 2024-2025 Request for Proposals & Grant Priorities for all the details and link to apply.

Transforming Lives
The Journey of a Nonprofit Foundation Pioneering Change in Organ and Tissue Donation Since 1993
The Foundation was created in December 1993 as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) and re-established in August 2017, to operate exclusively for charitable, scientific and educational purposes. The Foundation is a supporting foundation to Donor Alliance, the federally designated nonprofit organization that facilitates organ and tissue donation in Colorado and most of Wyoming. Donor Alliance invests significantly in public education in Colorado and Wyoming and the foundation will build upon those efforts through grant making to in-need populations across Colorado and Wyoming.
Our mission is to build partnerships and break down barriers to influence change that will positively affect the donation and transplant community. Our vision is to ensure those affected by organ and tissue donation are acknowledged, supported and given access to resources that enable the gift of life.
