NMDP is the nonprofit that operates the national bone marrow and blood stem cell registry. Our vision is to create a world in which every patient can receive their life-saving cell therapy.

For many patients with blood cancers and diseases like leukemia, lymphoma, sickle cell, and more, the best chance at a cure is a blood stem cell or bone marrow transplant, but 70% of patients don’t have a match within their family, so they’re dependent on the registry. Further, not all patients have an equal chance of finding a match – since matches are found based on genetics, patients are most likely to match with a donor of a similar ethnic background, so disparities in the composition of the registry translate into inequities in patients’ chances of finding a match. Currently only 14% of registry members identify as Hispanic/Latinx, only 9% as AANHPI, only 8% as Black or African American, and only 1% as Native American.

Young people have the power to disrupt this disparity and literally save lives by joining the NMDP registry. All it takes to join is a cheek swab, and for those who are able to be a donor, donation is safe, free, and confidential.
