The mission of Cord-Blood.org is to increase the availability of stem cells through cord blood donation to help thousands of families in need as well as advance scientific discoveries that lead to cures and treatments of numerous debilitating diseases and conditions.
Hope Through Treatment
To see a world where donating cord blood and cord tissue is the norm versus having it discarded as medical waste.
To see a world where diseases and conditions lose their debilitating effect because of treatments from cord blood and cord tissue stem cells.
Stem cells have the regenerative healing power to treat and save the lives of people afflicted with over 80 different diseases or conditions.
Additionally, there are currently clinical trials that are engaging these regenerative characteristics to study the treatment possibilities in over 30 other diseases or conditions. This is all possible because of people donating their cord blood and cord tissue versus having it discarded as medical waste.
The good news is the majority of expecting mothers do not need to store their baby’s cord blood. There may be reasons you might be recommended to store, but with only 5% of families storing cord blood, the likelihood is that you are a good candidate to donate your cord blood to help others.
Cord-Blood.org is here to help you plan what’s right for you. If you need to store, we can help you find the right place, if you don’t we can help you donate to save the lives of others or lead to the discovery of a new treatment.
The lives of families around the world rely on our success of spreading the word and encouraging cord blood and umbilical cord tissue donations. We have the utmost expectation to rise up and support each and every family.
It is essential that the regenerative healing power of stem cell therapy needs to be available to all people irrespective of their race, ethnicity or socio-economic background. It is imperative that we have a network of collaboration from those who work with expecting mothers and those who are expecting without plans to personally store the cord blood.

How Donating Cord Blood Works
A cord blood donation is a chance to save a life or lead to a life-saving medical discovery that changes thousands of lives in the future. The painless gift of donating a baby’s cord blood is done routinely.
Don’t let your baby’s cord blood be thrown away as medical waste. Minorities are underrepresented and often shorted on matches for treatment. If you are a minority, the need is even greater.
Many expecting mothers like you are wondering if they need to store their baby’s cord blood.
If you have a history of one of these conditions you might choose to store.
