Now That You've Joined

Welcome to the Be The Match RegistrySM! Thank you for your commitment to helping patients in need of a bone marrow transplant.
Be The Match Registry is the new name for the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) Registry. If you joined the NMDP Registry, either in person or online, you are a member of the Be The Match Registry and do not need to join again.

As a member of the Be The Match Registry, you have taken the first step to potentially save a life. We encourage you to learn more about us and about bone marrow donation so that you are ready to donate if you are called: 


What's next?

If you are a possible match for a patient, we will contact you with important next steps. New patient searches begin every day, so you could be a match for a patient soon or many years from now, or you may never be identifed as a match for someone. If we do contact you, you might be one of a number of potential matches or you may also be the only one on the registry who could save a patient's life.

Keep us updated

The most important way you can help today is to keep us updated so we can find you quickly if you match a patient. We'll also contact you by occasional letters and e-mails to remind you to update your address and to share important program updates. But don't wait until you hear from us.  

Update your information online or call us at 1 (800) MARROW-2 (1-800-627-7692) if:

  • Your phone number, name, e-mail or address changes
  • You have major changes to your health
  • You want to be removed from the Be The Match Registry

Other ways to help

  • Give a tax-deductible contribution to help make life-saving transplants a reality for patients today. 
  • Stay in touch to receive specific information on how you can help us change lives.
