Donation & Transplant

GRAFT · Guiding Readiness, Access & Fairness in Transplantation

Keeping transplant possible when support is the barrier.

GRAFT builds on transplant-access efforts already underway, helping transplant programs put existing and emerging approaches into action, so modifiable caregiver and social-support barriers don't stop patients from completing transplant evaluation.

Objective
Keep modifiable caregiver and social-support barriers from ending a patient's path to transplant.

What it involves

Awareness campaigns and Implementation Support Programs.

Under GRAFT, awareness campaigns bring patients, families and partners together around what's changing in care, and Implementation Support Programs find what works and scale it rapidly.

Know a gap we should test?Identify a gap

Campaigns can be sponsored: sponsors fund reach and content, never conclusions. Events and publications are promoted, not sponsored. Implementation Support Programs are sponsored separately and follow a defined protocol. Sponsors may help identify implementation challenges, populations or outcomes of interest. Design, governance and evaluation stay independent. How we stay independent

Get involved

Everyone has a part to play.

Health systems and employers
Become an implementation hub.

Bring GRAFT to your patients or workforce. We start with a 30-minute discovery call to define one gap, your population and a baseline.

  • Implementation activities funded under written agreements, never tied to product selection or volume
  • Live in as little as four weeks
  • A defined protocol and measures set up front
  • Results you can share with your patients and board
Patients and advocacy organizations
We amplify your work

We send patients to your resources and feature your experts during donation and transplant awareness moments. Partnering starts with a single post.
