About LifeLegacy Foundation

LifeLegacy Foundation is the first federally-approved 501(c)(3) nonprofit research organ and tissue bank accredited by The American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB). The primary objective of LifeLegacy is the ethical recovery and placement of non-transplantable human organs and tissues for the purpose of advancing medical research and education.

LifeLegacy Foundation was founded in 1997 to expand the availability of donated non-transplantable organs and tissues to meet the overwhelming need of researchers working on the development of new medications, cures to diseases, and improved medical techniques. These non-transplantable organs and tissues are provided to a variety of recognized academic agencies and university medical centers, governmental research agencies, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, as well as surgical training programs and private research organizations that are associated with national medical accreditation institutions and other healthcare training programs.

LifeLegacy is committed to ensuring all donated organs and tissues are used properly and professionally, and that the donor and donor family's wishes are met. LifeLegacy procures, packages and distributes donated human organs and tissues only to research institutions that meet the stringent requirements of LifeLegacy's Application and Approval Committee.
