GiftWorks
Hope in Action
GiftWorks isn’t just a program; it’s a movement. Together, we are creating a future where recipients and living donors feel equally supported, empowered, and connected through a lifesaving exchange.
Transforming Transplantation: Proven Success in Finding Lifesaving Donors
At GiftWorks, we believe recipients and living donors deserve more than just hope—they deserve a clear path forward. That’s why we provide expert coaching, strategic tools, and compassionate guidance to help navigate the complex transplant journey. By partnering with transplant centers, we’re ensuring that every recipient and donor receives the support, education, and care needed to turn possibility into reality.
Guiding Recipients & Donors
Over the past decade, GiftWorks has supported numerous transplant recipients. While living donation leads to better outcomes, most recipients struggle to ask for help—it can feel overwhelming and deeply vulnerable. But when recipients stay engaged and commit to the our process, help often shows up in remarkable, even life-changing, ways.
Recipient Support
GiftWorks provides personalized websites, strategic coaching, and a range of promotional materials to empower recipients in their search for living donors. Recipients in our program receive continuous support through 1:1 coaching, weekly activities, and online community.
Donor Navigation
Living donors benefit from expert consultation, step-by-step education, ongoing support, and dedicated navigation provided by our experienced GiftWorks Living Donor Navigators, ensuring our donor candidates feel informed, supported, and valued every step of the way.
Lives Transformed
Here’s how we’re making a difference in the lives of our recipients and donors.

University of Utah Health
“Over the past two years, our collaboration with GiftWorks has yielded exceptional results, beginning with a successful pilot program involving 10 kidney patients. Building on that success, we expanded to 25 recipients in Phase 2, achieving a 32% living donor transplant rate, which outpaces the national average. In 2023, 28,142 kidney transplants were performed in the U.S., with 6,953 resulting from living kidney donors. This data underscores the critical role of living donation in addressing the growing demand on the U.S. kidney transplant waitlist and highlights the efficacy of our approach.”
