Grant Description

The Donor Alliance Foundation is now accepting applications to fund efforts in Colorado and Wyoming that provide access to resources and education for those affected by organ and tissue donation and transplantation. Donor Name: Donor Alliance Foundation State: Colorado, Wyoming County: All Counties Type of Grant: Grant Deadline: (mm/dd/yyyy) 08/02/2024 Size of the Grant: $10,000 to $100,000 Grant Duration: 1 Year Details: The Donor Alliance Foundation was created to extend the mission of organ and tissue donation and transplantation, by building partnerships and breaking down barriers to influence change to positively affect the donation and transplant community. The Foundation believes 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 will continue its focus on community impact by addressing system barriers that prohibit people from receiving an organ and/or tissue transplant. They will do this by funding organizations that demonstrate equitable and equal access to donation and transplantation resources through education, family assistance, and/or research projects. 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 Further seeking projects that consider diversity, equity, and inclusion as a key audience and can demonstrate equity in their programming Look for applicants who are or planning to provide education or assistance 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. Foundation Funds Efforts to meet the needs of patients pre- and post-transplant who have a financial need with limited or no access to funds. Projects that provide equal and equitable access to donation and transplantation resources that enable the gift of life. New and innovative education approaches about donation and transplantation to reach audiences in populations who may not be aware of their options, given reduced social interaction. Programs and services that offer grief assistance and compassion support in Colorado and Wyoming. Efforts to increase living donation. Medical and social research related to transplantation, to provide an opportunity to conduct pilot studies or early exploration (e.g., seed grants).
