Mission Statement
Kid-U-Not neither encourages nor discourages donation, but assists people who have become living organ donors with their non-medical expenses. It is the Kid-U-Not belief that living organ donation should be cost neutral. Living organ donors are the unsung heroes of the transplant story; they should not need to make financial sacrifices when they donate. As a result of our beliefs, Kid-U-Not assists all types of living organ donors (kidney, liver, lung, etc.) regardless of income.
Description
In 2016, Sally became familiar with the American Living Organ Donor Fund (ALODF), and Kid-U-Not became one of its chapters. Kid-U-Not was a chapter of the ALODF for a year when Sally realized that she wanted more independence in directing Kid-U-Not. In 2018, Sally incorporated Kid-U-Not Living Organ Donor Fund as a public charity in her home state of Connecticut. She began the process of obtaining 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization designation from the IRS. On March 12, 2019, the IRS granted Kid-U-Not’s application. So now Kid-U-Not is an IRS recognized tax exempt, non-profit, public charity dedicated to helping living organ donors throughout the United States.
