Becoming a Donor

You may pre-register to become a donor with LifeLegacy Foundation when pre-planning your final arrangements and death is not imminent. Pre-registration identifies your interest to be a donor and provides LifeLegacy Foundation with initial information that will assist with the process at the time of death. Donor acceptance is not determined until the time of death when all the required criteria can be gathered and evaluated.

For pre-planning your final arrangements, when death is not imminent:

1. Contact LifeLegacy at 520-575-5200 or 888-774-4438, or complete our Information Request Form
2. Upon receipt of this request, LifeLegacy Foundation will send you information regarding donation and the pre-registration form for you to complete and return.
3. Upon receipt of your completed pre-registration form, LifeLegacy Foundation will send you confirmation of your pre-registration, a donor wallet card, and a packet with additional donation information.
4. Carry your LifeLegacy Foundation donor wallet card with you to identify you as a donor at the time of death.
5. Tell your family about your decision to be a donor.
6. Tell your hospital, hospice or caregiver about your decision to be a donor.

At the time of death or preparing for imminent death:

1. LifeLegacy Foundation is contacted and will complete the necessary paperwork including the donor consent, medical and social history questionnaire, and death certificate information.
2. Once acceptance is determined, LifeLegacy Foundation will make all the arrangements to receive the donor and complete the donation.

We provide 24-hour assistance with donor and family questions and donation arrangements. If you have any questions, please call us at 520-575-5200 or 888-774-4438.
