Donate Life America, founded in 1992 as the Coalition on Donation, is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit alliance of national organizations and 47 state-based organizations across the United States called Donate Life State Teams dedicated to educating the public and advocating for organ, eye and tissue donation.

Donate Life America is funded by contributions from the public, corporations, and affiliated organizations.

The organization works toward creating a more aware and educated population on the importance of organ, eye, and tissue donation through many different mediums.

Organ transplantation is a medical procedure in which an organ is removed from one body and placed in the body of a recipient, to replace a damaged or missing organ.

The donor and recipient may be at the same location, or organs may be transported from a donor site to another location.

Organs and/or tissues that are transplanted within the same person's body are called autografts.

Transplants that are recently performed between two subjects of the same species are called allografts.

Allografts can either be from a living or cadaveric source.

Organ donation is when a person allows to be removed, legally, either by consent while the donor is alive or after death with the assent of the next of kin.

A nonprofit organization (also known as a non-business entity) is an organization whose purpose is something other than making a profit.

A nonprofit organization is often dedicated to furthering a particular social cause or advocating for a particular point of view.

In economic terms, a nonprofit organization uses its surplus revenues to further achieve its purpose or mission, rather than distributing its surplus income to the organization's shareholders (or equivalents) as profit or dividends.

This is known as the non-distribution constraint.

The decision to adopt a nonprofit legal structure is one that will often have taxation implications, particularly where the nonprofit seeks income tax exemption, charitable status and so on.

Modern humans (Homo sapiens, primarily ssp.

Homo sapiens sapiens) are the only extant members of Hominina tribe (or human tribe), a branch of the tribe Hominini belonging to the family of great apes.

They are characterized by erect posture and bipedal locomotion; manual dexterity and increased tool use, compared to other animals; and a general trend toward larger, more complex brains and societies.
