National Donate Life Month was instituted in 2003 by Donate Life America and partner organizations and is celebrated in April each year to encourage organ, eye, and tissue donor registration.

Donate Life America is a not-for-profit alliance committed to increasing the number of donated organs, eyes, and tissue available for transplant, and has grown donor registration to nearly 135 million registered donors in the United States since its founding as the Coalition on Donation in 1992.

Donate Life Indiana serves as the state-authorized nonprofit organization responsible for managing the Indiana Donor Registry and raising public awareness for organ, eye, and tissue donation and transplantation.

The Indiana General Assembly recognizes National Donate Life Month and commends Donate Life America and Donate Life Indiana for their work in saving and healing lives through organ and tissue donation.

The Secretary of the Senate is directed to transmit a copy of the resolution to Donate Life Indiana.
