CRAIN's Awards- Social Tile

LiveOnNY is honored and proud to be awarded a Crain's Best Place to Work in NYC 2024 for a third consecutive year. Our staff are the backbone of our success, and this accolade would not be possible without their relentless dedication. We are equally grateful to our generous donor heroes and their families, whose selflessness fuels our mission.

LiveOnNY continues to report remarkable progress following the implementation of a three-year strategic plan, which has positioned the organization as one of the top-performing OPOs in the nation. A three year comprehensive strategic plan achieved a greater than 50% increase in organ donation, resulting in saving thousands of lives.

We remain committed to honoring our donor heroes every day. Read the full press release here.

Join the Movement of Saving Lives

We all have a role in ending the wait list. Nearly 9,000 New Yorkers statewide — 131 of whom are children under the age of 18 — are waiting for a lifesaving transplant, according to United Network for Organ Sharing. Nationwide, the number is approximately 100,000 - enough to fill two Yankee stadiums. But the myths of organ donation are starting to fade away and New Yorkers are saving more lives than ever. Last year, more than 1,000 organs were transplanted thanks to the selfless acts of organ donors in the greater New York area — a record — but the urgency remains, and the work is far from done. Together, as a community, New York has the power to end the wait list.
