  2. Register for NMDPSM Unite. 
  3. Raise critical funds to create more second chances.

Get social!

Social media can be a fun and fast way to get fundraising contributions. Remember, people are busy. Be sure to give your social network a few gentle reminders throughout your fundraising campaign. Download custom graphics to help you raise your first $150 (enough to add one potential life-saving donor to the NMDP RegistrySM). 

Facebook fundraising 

With Facebook fundraisers, raising money for your favorite nonprofit is quick and easy. Just share your fundraiser with your Facebook friends, get donations—and reach your goal. Follow our Fundraise for NMDP Facebook page and share your success stories, photos, inspiration and helpful tips.

What donations do 

One of the best ways to encourage donations is to tell your audience how their money will make a difference. This flyer shows what donations at many levels mean for patients facing transplant. 

What to say? 

In today’s world of instant messaging, sometimes the best way to break through the clutter is with an old-fashioned letter or email. Use this donation request letter or email template to get started.
