The David Nicklas Organ Donor Awareness Foundation is a non-profit established in 1995 and located in Grand Prairie.

Their mission is to promote organ donor awareness and to provide fully furnished rent-free housing for transplant patients who live too far from a transplant center. Thus far, they have helped 113 transplant patients from 15 states, aged 3 months to 77 years. Since 1997, they have happily awarded over $150,000 in scholarships to graduating seniors enrolled in Grand Prairie ISD. This press release was produced by Greater Arlington Chamber of Commerce.
