Proclamation 10912 of April 3, 2025
National Donate Life Month, 2025
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Americans demonstrate their compassion in countless
ways, perhaps none more selfless or vital than organ
donations. More than 170 million people in the United
States have made the decision to become donors, and for
that, my Administration is grateful. During National
Donate Life Month, we celebrate these heroes and the
life-giving impact of their precious gift.
Last year alone, Americans saved and extended nearly
50,000 lives through organ donations and
transplantations. Every life is precious, and each new
donor can offer the gift of life to 8 souls while also
enhancing the lives of 75 others who are battling
chronic diseases, blindness, severe burns, and trauma.
There are more than 103,000 men, women, and children on
the national transplant waiting list, clinging to hope
and longing for a miracle. A new name is added every 8
minutes. Tragically, 17 people lose their lives each
day while waiting for a transplant, highlighting the
urgent need for more registered donors.
Anyone who is eligible, regardless of age or medical
history, has the ability sign up to be an organ donor.
To enroll, visit your State registry, the Department of
Motor Vehicles, or <a href="http://www.organdonor.gov">www.organdonor.gov</a>. The registration
process is as simple as checking a box or registering
online.
Throughout this month, we honor the selfless donors who
generously give life to others and celebrate the
beneficiaries who receive health and healing. The First
Lady and I pray for all who await a transplant with
anticipation and hope.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the
United States of America, by virtue of the authority
vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States, do hereby proclaim April 2025 as
National Donate Life Month. I urge all Americans to
consider becoming a donor and sharing this decision
with family members and loved ones.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
third day of April, in the year of our Lord two
thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and forty-
ninth.
