What is the National Marrow Donor Program?
The National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) is a service Blood Assurance provides to help those in need. Blood Assurance donors can sign up to be on the national registry of potential bone marrow donors through the National Marrow Donor Program and possibly become a match for someone in need of a life-saving transplant.

The National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) is a congressionally authorized nationwide computerized data bank of potential marrow donors. The NMDP network exists to match unrelated, informed donors with patients in need and to facilitate all unrelated marrow and blood stem cell transplants. Established in 1987, the NMDP is a collaborative effort of the American Association of Blood Banks and the Council of Community Blood Centers, operating with the funding from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health and the Naval Medical Research and Development Command.
The National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) is a non-profit organization that makes it possible for patients, suffering from life-threatening diseases, to receive transplants from matching registered donors. By maintaining a diverse registry of potential, volunteer bone marrow and stem cell donors, the NMDP provides a means of finding the right donor for the treatment of critically ill patients across the United States.
