Finding a Living Donor Workshop: March 2025



This two-day workshop is facilitated by Donate Life Northwest, a nonprofit committed to educating residents of Oregon and Washington about organ, eye, and tissue donation and transplant. Participants who participate in this workshop must be currently on the kidney transplant waitlist at OHSU, Legacy, or the Portland VA. Participants are encouraged to have a support person join them during the sessions.

Waitlisted kidney patients and support partners of their choosing meet virtually via Zoom as a group to learn about living donation and explore creative ways to extend their networks and seek a living donor. 

Session 1 (March 9, 9am-12pm) will cover:

  • Background information on living donation
  • Building your support system
  • A Q&A panel of living kidney donors and recipients

Session 2 (March 16, 9am-12pm) will cover:

  • How to build your story
  • Outreach ideas
  • Making an action plan

Optional Q&A Panel (March 18, 12pm-1pm):

  • Open Q&A time with staff from your transplant center

By registering, you are signing up for both sessions, plus you are able to attend the Q&A panel. Space is limited. Registration closes February 23, 2025.

When registering, be sure to put your mailing address in, as we will be sending out materials ahead of time.
