Make a gift
When you give to NMDPSM, you unlock hope for patients and their loved ones. Your gift makes our mission possible.
Ways to make a financial gift
There are many ways for you to help people receive the life-saving blood stem cell transplant they need without donating peripheral blood stem cells or bone marrow. By supporting NMDP’s mission financially, you can help the 18,000 people diagnosed with blood cancers and disorders each year afford transplant, fund innovative research and help grow the registry.
On behalf of all the people whose lives we touch, thank you for making transplants and second chances a reality.
The impact of generosity
A legacy gift unlocks more hope, more cures
After Gary was diagnosed with blood cancer, a selfless donor saved his life. Now, he’s devoting it to saving others, too.
A teacher turns donation into a life-saving lesson

From the NFL to NMDP
Jennifer had dreams of cheerleading in the NFL when blood cancer blindsided her. She defeated it—and now helps patients by being a monthly sustainer.
Your gift can save lives and accelerate blood cancer and disease research
Fund patient assistance
In 2024 alone over $6.6 million in financial gifts helped patients and their families pay for cell therapies and medical bills not covered by insurance. While this is certainly a great achievement, financial costs continue to be the number one barrier reported by patients who come to NMDP for a transplant.
Even if a patient’s procedure is covered by insurance, they’re still left with travel costs, lodging, childcare, pet care, lost wages and other expenses.
With your help and financial donation, patients can focus on navigating the transplant process and staying healthy during the recovery process.

Support groundbreaking blood cancer and disorder research
Thanks to the amazing support from people all around the world, there are currently 200 ongoing studies and clinical trials fueling and finding new cures, like our NMDP Donor for All initiative, which helps patients undergo successful transplants even if doctors can’t find a complete donor match.
Other programs help fund groundbreaking research such as:
- The NMDP Amy Strelzer Manasevit Research Program – Sponsors early-career researchers who are finding innovative solutions to the complications that can arise after transplant.
- The NMDP Barbara Buchbinder Nurse Research Program – Funds research that provides better outcomes for children with blood cancer. These discoveries will help patients live longer, healthier lives.
Grow the registry donor pool
Because matching has a genetic component, patients are most likely to match a donor who shares their ethnic background. Because ethnically diverse donors are underrepresented on the NMDP Registry, it’s harder for them to find a match. When people from all walks of life join the registry, it helps patients in need find a cure.
Your gift can help our recruitment efforts by supporting us on our mission to reach new communities and add more young, ethnically diverse donors to the registry.
Monetary donations are what make life-saving research like this possible, and any amount can be the difference for patients from all walks of life.
