Our goal is to encourage Michigan residents to accept organ and tissue donation as a fundamental human responsibility.

MCOD is modeled after the National Coalition on Donation, which among other things, creates and distributes national advertising campaigns and various awareness efforts such as National Organ and Tissue Donation week.
