Why Work with DKMS

DKMS provides patients and their families’ access to the largest marrow donor database in the world. More than 20,000 of our donors helped save lives by donating their bone marrow.

• DKMS is the world’s largest bone marrow donor center with over 2 million registered donors, providing 29% of all transplants in the U.S.

• DKMS Americas is a national bone marrow donor center able to hold bone marrow donor drives in every state across America, making it possible for the patients family to be involved, regardless of location

• DKMS recruits donors of all races and ethnicities and adds them to the Be The Match Registry® (operated by the NMDP), so all patients can benefit

• DKMS is a very flexible organization and works to accommodate the schedules and needs of our donors, patients and their families

• DKMS appoints one of its dedicated staff members to be your contact for donor drives

• DKMS does not make it mandatory for the donor to cover the $65 registration cost, but we gladly accept and appreciate any voluntary contribution that is made
