Ideally, everyone could join the Registry free of charge.  This is not the case, however, and testing can cost up to $65 per person.  Any money you pay to join the Registry is tax-deductible.

Donations can be made to an account set up with the Marrow Foundation.  All monies donated to this account are tax-deductible and will go towards the testing fees for the Bone Marrow Drives.

The Marrow Foundation was created in 1991 to secure support for the work of the NMDP.  The Foundation's goals are to increase the size and diversity of the Registry, to assist patients in financial need in the process of searching the Registry for a match, and to sponsor research for unrelated bone marrow transplantations.

To Donate Financially:

Whichever way you chose to donate, you will be sent a form for tax purposes.

Ask your work if they would be willing to match your donation!
