American Foundation for Donation and Transplantation (AFDT)

The American Foundation for Donation and Transplantation is the continuation of the oldest transplantation and donation professional organization in the United States. Founded in 1969 in Richmond, Virginia as SEROPP by Drs. David Hume and Bernard Amos, our organization became SEOPF, the South-Eastern Organ Procurement Foundation. SEOPF gave rise to UNOS, the United Network for Organ Sharing, and now has become the AFDT, the American Foundation for Donation and Transplantation. This is to reflect a broader national reach of the organization and to confirm its continued commitment to scientific and educational activities relating to organ donation and transplantation which will benefit patients, living donors, donor families and the transplant community.
