Abstract
The National Donor Family Council (NDFC) functioned under the sponsorship of the National Kidney Foundation from 1992-2014. Giving voice to the needs and views of donor families, the NDFC had an important impact on the support for those families. This article records significant points in the advocacy of donor families, summarizes the history of the NDFC, highlights the various activities and achievements of the NDFC, and offers some impressions of its legacies.
