DKMS is an international nonprofit where creativity, initiative, compassion, collaboration and strategic thinking are rewarded as we work together to expand our reach, recruit more bone marrow donors and help save more lives. Following the establishment of DKMS, our German predecessor, we were founded in 2004 in the U.S. as DKMS Americas, and since renamed DKMS. With the firm belief that people everywhere can play an active role in saving the lives of others with blood cancers and blood and bone marrow disorders, our mission is to grow the number of suitable bone marrow and blood stem cell donors for patients in need of a transplant. Today, DKMS is comprised of nearly 100 passionate employees and thousands of volunteers who work tirelessly toward a common goal of facilitating successful donations. Many of our employees have personally seen the urgent need for a vast and diverse donor registry, giving the organization an unmatched level of energy, creativity and dedication. DKMS is part of the world’s largest network of bone marrow donor centers, having registered more than 6 million people. Currently, nearly 56,000 those have gone on to donate to a patient.
