Partnerships: Working Together to Save LivesThe National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) started in 1987 with just 10,000 volunteer donors. Today, nearly 7 million volunteers have joined the NMDP Registry, becoming members of a global movement. Partnerships with organizations like yours made this possible. From corporations to churches and colleges to community groups, our partners raise awareness about bone marrow donation and transplantation and recruit volunteers to join the NMDP Registry. Through our partnerships, more volunteers step forward, more funding becomes available to support critical outreach and more advances are made in the science of transplant. Partnerships with corporationsCorporations are making it their priority to support innovative new initiatives at the NMDP — programs and resources to support patients (such as Northwest Airlines' AirCares program) and critical research efforts. And donors recruited through corporate partnerships are among the most committed donors in the world. The growing diversity of the U.S. work force helps the NMDP meet the needs of patients from diverse racial and ethnic communities — the patients least likely to find a matched donor today. Local community outreachCivic, community, college and university and faith-based organizations work closely with NMDP donor centers and recruitment groups to reach people where they live and work. These local connections enable community members to be part of the global effort to save lives. Your partnership with the NMDPWhen you partner with us, you provide your members a unique opportunity to engage in a program that saves lives. To learn how your corporation, faith-based community, student group or other organization can help us save lives, see Engage Your Organization.
