How do I find my bone marrow registry?

Most registry members are never called to donate. You stay on the registry for years; the registry only contacts you if a patient — often someone fighting a blood cancer such as leukemia — matches your HLA type.

If you're matched, the registry contacts you (not the patient directly). You go through additional health screening and renewed consent before any actual donation.

You can decline at any point — registration is not a binding commitment. You can also withdraw from the registry at any time.

We route you to the correct national registry for your country automatically. JBF is not itself a registry — we are a small foundation that supports every major bone marrow registry worldwide. Choosing JBF as your starting point doesn't change which registry you join; it just gets you to the right one faster.

Every signup that originates from a JBF link lets us measure the real-world impact of our awareness work. That measurement informs our outreach strategy and supports the foundation's mission. Your registration is free either way; routing through JBF costs you nothing and helps us.
