Financial Assistance Guidelines

All financial assistance is available to U.S. citizens only and is based on the donations ALODF receives each year.

  • All applications are reviewed individually and approved at the sole discretion of ALODF.

  • All decisions are final.

  • Paper applications will not be accepted.

  • ALODF may approve an amount different from the amount requested.

  • We have a maximum of $3,000 for kidney donation and a maximum of $4,000 for liver donation.

  • Applications must be submitted before applicant selection. We prefer applications before organ donation but will accept applications up to two months after surgery.

  • Please review all instructions carefully and complete the applications with your transplant team wherever possible.
