The Living Bank

The Living Bank is a nonprofit organization established in 1968 and based in Houston, Texas. The company has 16 employees and generates $2.5 million in annual revenue. The Living Bank is dedicated to eliminating the shortage of organs for life-saving transplants. They achieve this through a variety of services, including Independent Living Donor Advocacy (ILDA) Social Work Services, Professional Continuing Education, and Public Education. Their ILDA services provide independent advocacy for living organ donors, ensuring their decisions are informed and free from coercion. The company also offers continuing education webinars for healthcare professionals working in transplant centers across the nation. Their public education initiatives aim to inform the public about living organ donation as a life-saving alternative to waiting for a deceased donor. The Living Bank has a unique position within the transplant community. Their office is located near the Texas Medical Center (TMC), the world's largest medical complex, allowing them to serve four world-class transplant programs locally. This experience has led them to expand their services to include telehealth support for out-of-state living donor programs.
