DREF recognizes National Minority Donor Awareness Month observed annually throughout August to increase organ, eye, and tissue donation awareness and registration within multicultural communities, addressing the critical need for diverse donors where more than 60% of people on the national transplant waitlist are people of color. Key Goals of the Observance include: Education & Outreach - Provide focused education on donation within African American, Hispanic, Asian/Pacific Islander, and Native American communities; Addressing Disparities - Highlight how conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure disproportionately impact minority groups and lead to higher rates of organ failure, particularly kidney disease; Improving Match Compatibility - Encourage diverse registrations because transplant matches are often more successful when matched across similar ethnic and genetic backgrounds; Promoting Healthy Living - Advocate for disease prevention and wellness to reduce the future need for organ transplants.
