Donor Network West

Donor Network West is a non profit that saves and heals lives through organ and tissue donation. We are looking for people throughout our service area to become Donate Life Ambassadors with our organization. Our ambassadors work in their communities to encourage people to have conversations about organ and tissue donation and register to become donors.

Our territory runs from Fresno/San Luis Obispo up to the Oregon border with the exception the the Sacramento and surrounding counties and the we also cover northern Nevada.

We ask our volunteers to attend a training class to learn about our organization and donor designation. our volunteers speak to civic groups, high schools students and DMV staff, provide information at health fairs, work with local places of worship, use social media to help connect your community and introduce us to organizations within your communities.

Whether you have a direct connection with organ and tissue donation as a donor family member, tissue or organ recipient, living donor, family member of someone directly connected or you are a concerned citizen that wants to help, we can use your help to get information out in your community.

if you are interested check out our website at Donor Network West and select "Join Us". Help save and improve lives.

You do not have to come to our main office which is located in San Ramon. We host trainings and can work with you throughout our territory.

Mission Statement

Healing lives through organ and tissue donation.

Description

Donor Network West is a federally designated nonprofit, 501 (c) (3), organ procurement and tissue recovery organization. Established in 1987, we serve more than 13 million people and connect a donor’s gift to those in need in our service area of 40 counties in northern California and Nevada.

Organ, eye, and tissue donation offers the hope to heal. The generous decisions of donors and their families allow us to recover and allocate organs and tissues for transplantation and research. We are able to carry out our mission of saving and healing lives thanks to our partnership with 175 hospitals, doctors, nurses, more than 500 funeral homes and 44 coroners and medical examiners.

Donor Network West is a Donate Life organization accredited by the Association of Organ Procurement Organizations (AOPO) and the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB). We are also a member of Donate Life America, Donate Life California and Donate Life Nevada.

Our volunteers help to educate people in their communities and encourage them to have conversations about organ, eye and tissue donation with their families as well as participate in special projects/events.
