NMDP Chapters
A lot of good starts with a little swab
NMDPSM Chapters is a student-focused program to recruit students to join the NMDP Registry and help fundraise to help add more potential donors to the registry, help patients afford transplant, and fund groundbreaking research to help patients live longer, healthier lives.
Making a nationwide impact
Studies have shown that cells from younger donors lead to better long-term survival for patients. That’s why it’s important that students get involved.
- Nearly 160,000 students have registered as potential donors
- 1,463 students have matched with a patient and donated their healthy blood stem cells to someone facing a blood cancer or disorder

Our chapters host education, recruitment and fundraising events throughout the school year. We’re looking for students like you to help plan, promote and execute these life-saving events.
