Microsites: Tools to Find a Living Donor

A microsite is a free, personalized website designed to help patients in need of a transplant find a living kidney donor.

There are two types of microsites: starter microsites and custom microsites. A starter site includes standard text explaining that you need a kidney transplant and asking potential donors to consider being tested to determine if they can donate on your behalf.

With a custom microsite, you can post pictures and tell your story of why you need a kidney to help potential donors learn more about who you are and feel a personal connection to you. Your story can include what led to your need for a kidney transplant, what your life is like now, how it would change if you find a living donor, and personal details such as family, interests, and hobbies.

Once you set up your microsite, you will receive a unique URL to your site to share via email and social media, as well as 250 free business cards to hand out to family, friends, and acquaintances.

To set up a microsite, you must be at a transplant center that participates in the microsite program. Find a microsite center.
