About

Our Mission

The Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) helps children and young adults who need a life-saving transplant by providing fundraising assistance and family support.

COTA is the premier organization providing fundraising assistance to transplant families … for a lifetime.

Because we are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, funds raised are not considered income for families. Since 1986 COTA has assisted children and young adults needing a life-saving organ, bone marrow or stem cell transplant. We also work with individuals of any age with a single-gene disorder, such as Polycystic Kidney Disease, Cystic Fibrosis or Sickle Cell Disease.

Gifts to COTA are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.

Contributions to patient campaigns assist with transplant-related expenses, including lodging, transportation, household expenses, prescription medications, living donor costs, and much more.
