Organ and Tissue Donation Program
The Organ and Tissue Donation Program works to increase the number of people who say “yes” to organ, tissue, and eye donation and reduce the number of people who are waiting for lifesaving transplantation and life-improving surgery.
The Organ and Tissue Donation Program manages and promotes the Wisconsin Donor Registry in partnership with the Division of Motor Vehicles, the Department of Natural Resources, the Department of Revenue, and Donate Life Wisconsin.
Wisconsin Donor Registry
There are 2.8 million Wisconsinites registered as organ, tissue, and eye donors.
Registering yourself legally authorizes the gift of your organs, tissues, and eyes upon your death.
Your gift can save and improve the lives of others through transplantation, therapy, research or education.
