One decision — to become an organ and tissue donor — can save up to eight lives and restore sight, health, and hope to dozens more. The Visionary Foundation exists to make that decision an easy one.
Imagine a world where no one dies waiting for a transplant — where mothers don't bury their sons, and ten million people who cannot see are given sight.
That world is closer than most people realize. Every day, organ and tissue donation lets a father watch his daughter grow up, frees a burn survivor from a life of scars, and turns one family's loss into another family's second chance.
The Visionary Foundation believes a happier world — one where needless suffering and heartache are within reach of ending — begins with a single, simple choice. The power of one.
Three small steps that turn your generosity into someone's second chance.
Add your name to your provincial or state donor registry — online, in minutes.
Make sure the people who love you know your wish. It makes everything easier for them.
Encourage one friend to register too. That's how one decision becomes many.
Someone we will never meet gave our daughter her eyesight back. There are no words big enough for that kind of love.— A recipient family, Stories of Vision
Registering is the first gift. Here are three more ways to carry the vision forward.
Run, walk, or sponsor a runner in our annual event — every step raises awareness.
Join the run →Share the message with someone you love. Awareness is contagious — pass it on.
Spread the word →Our goal is to raise awareness of the importance of human tissue and organ donation — a dedicated call to action to inspire people to pledge needed tissues and organs, so that no one need suffer or die for lack of a donation.
Almost anyone can give this gift. Regardless of age, medical history, race, religion, or background, most people can be considered as organ and tissue donors — even those living with illness. If you're unsure of your suitability, we encourage you simply to ask.
The power of one.
Every transplant, every restored sight, every healed wound begins with one person deciding to give. Never doubt that a single choice can change everything — because it always has.
It takes minutes to register, and it costs you nothing. But to someone waiting — it's everything.
