Letter from the Governor

Welcome to Donate Life Today in Montana.

Thank you for taking a few minutes to read the stories and information you’ll find at this site. You will learn more about the gift of organ, eye and tissue donation from your Montana friends and neighbors. I encourage you to explore the site and click on the Donate Life Today logo to register as an organ, eye and tissue donor.

Please talk to your family, your colleagues and friends about your decision to be an organ, eye and tissue donor. Spread the word, share the stories, remind folks the need is great and it may be their own family member who, like the folks featured on the site, suddenly faces a health crisis and need the gift of organ, eye and/or tissue donation.

Eighteen people die everyday awaiting a transplant, please consider a monetary donation to help us continue the outreach necessary to register donors & save lives.
