The National Kidney Registry (NKR) is a nonprofit organization based in Greenwich, CT, dedicated to transforming the lives of individuals facing kidney failure. Its mission focuses on increasing the quality, speed, and volume of living donor transplants while ensuring the protection and support of all living kidney donors. NKR collaborates with an extensive network of 104 member centers across 35 states and Washington, D.C., offering various living donation programs, such as voucher donation and remote donation.

The organization aims to streamline the transplant process, allowing recipients to find the best-matched donors within three months. Through its innovative programs, like the Kidney for Life initiative and Donor Shield, NKR minimizes waiting times and reduces the side effects of immunosuppression medications, enhancing the quality of life for transplant patients. NKR is committed to donor safety and provides essential resources to both donors and patients, making kidney donation more manageable and accessible.
