NMDP, formerly known as the National Marrow Donor Program and operating the Be The Match Registry, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to saving lives through cellular therapy. It manages the world’s largest registry of volunteer bone marrow and blood stem cell donors and works to facilitate transplants for patients with blood cancers and other life‑threatening blood disorders. The organization also advances research, patient support, and access to cell and gene therapies.
NMDP typically supports legislative policies that expand access to bone marrow and blood stem cell transplantation, increase funding for medical research and cellular therapies, improve health insurance coverage and patient protections, promote donor recruitment and diversity initiatives, and strengthen public health infrastructure related to transplantation and rare diseases.
Primary funding sources include transplant center service fees, federal contracts and grants, corporate partnerships, and individual charitable donations.
