Founded in 2014 by Josh Morrison and Thomas Kelly, who both donated kidneys to strangers, Waitlist Zero works to end the kidney shortage that claims approximately 10,000 American lives each year.
We mentor prospective kidney donors, connect individuals interested in donation with experienced donors, educate the public about living donation, support living liver donation, and advocate for policies that increase transplantation and save lives.
Legislative Successes
Waitlist Zero was instrumental in the passage of:
• The New York State Living Donor Support Act
• The Honor Our Living Donors Act
We are proud that both laws passed unanimously.
Our Current Priorities
• The End Kidney Deaths Act (with the Coalition to Modify NOTA)
• The Living Organ Donor Tax Credit Act
Our Vision
A future in which no American dies waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant.
