About Us
Our History
When Legacy Donor Foundation was founded in 1999, just 450,000 Louisianians were registered as organ, eye & tissue donors. Thanks to impactful education programs, compelling public awareness campaigns and statewide outreach, that number has grown to over 2.8 million and continues to rise.
Our Mission
Our mission is to save and heal lives by inspiring Louisiana residents to register as organ, eye & tissue donors. Through education, outreach and advocacy, we’re building a culture of generosity where every Louisianian understands the power of giving LIFE through donation.

Donate Life Louisiana Collaborative Partners
Donate Life Louisiana (DLL) is a statewide alliance of dedicated organizations working together to educate and inspire the citizens of Louisiana about the power of organ, eye & tissue donation. Our mission is to encourage donor registration and foster family acceptance of the donation process, helping more lives be saved through the gift of generosity.
Legacy Donor Foundation is a proud founding partner of the DLL Collaborative, and our Executive Director, Nicole Labadot, serves as the State Team Leader. In this role, Nicole helps guide collective efforts across Louisiana to expand awareness, grow the Louisiana Organ Donor Registry and bring hope to those who are waiting for a second chance at life.
Together with our DLL partners, we envision a world where no life is lost or limited because of the lack of available donors and where donation is embraced as a powerful, life-affirming act of compassion, generosity and love.
