LIVING DONATION
Wisconsin became the first state to pass legislation to allow living donors to deduct up to $10,000 in expenses related to making a 'living donation'. The NKFW actively advocated for the passage of this legislation.

Even if your car isn't ready to be donated to the Kidney Cars program this year, you can still help spread the message about donation. When it's time to renew your registration in 2009, consider getting a new Donate Life license plate. Donate Life Wisconsin, a coalition of Wisconsin organizations committed to organ, tissue and eye donation, will benefit from the sale of each license plate sold in Wisconsin. It's easy. Just click on www.dot.wisconsin.gov/drivers/vehicles/personal/special/donatelife.htm to order your new plate. A portion ($25) of the fee will be donated to help Donate Life Wisconsin promote donation awareness throughout our state.
If you have questions, please contact Martha Mallon, President of Donate Life Wisconsin, at (608) 261-6854 |
