Who We Are
We are a non-profit organization dedicated to saving lives through organ, eye and tissue donation in the Upper Midwest, serving more than 7 million people who live in communities across Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and western Wisconsin.
We partner with 279 hospitals and 300 driver’s license offices in our service area to facilitate the gifts of organ, eye and tissue donation and encourage people in our communities to register as a donor. Learn more about who we are.
What We Do
We deliver life-saving transplants and life-altering tissue to those in need. To complete our important work, we offer three core services:
- Managing all aspects of organ, eye and tissue donation
- Supporting donor families
- Educating communities and healthcare and medical professionals about their role in the life-saving process of donation
Walking the halls of LifeSource and reading the stories of donors and recipients still stirs intense emotions of how important this process and work is to donor families in search of healing and recipients in pursuit of hope.
