What Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency does
Mission
Our mission is to save and enhance lives through organ and tissue donation for transplantation. Lopa was formed by four institutions--ochsner, tulane, lsu south, and lsu north--to service a medical need that was not being met in this (continued on schedule o) community. Lopa is the only organization that procures organ and tissue donations from donors at the time of their death to use for transplantation on other patients. Lopa oversees the procurement process as well as the environmental conditions and handling of the organs and tissues both prior to delivery and during delivery for transplant. Lopa also arranges the histo-compatibility testing at the four transplant centers to match organs and tissues with prospective recipients.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $29M to $37M (+28%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 8%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
0% of LOUISIANA ORGAN PROCUREMENT AGENCY’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (7% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 3 funders, grant income fell $14k → $2k.
3 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 28% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $516k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Lopa Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money LOUISIANA ORGAN PROCUREMENT AGENCY raised.
From the IRS filings of LOUISIANA ORGAN PROCUREMENT AGENCY’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
LOUISIANA ORGAN PROCUREMENT AGENCY leans on a few funders — its largest provides 26% of grant income and the top three 64%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
60% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund LOUISIANA ORGAN PROCUREMENT AGENCY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 46% · 2018 100% · 2019 77% · 2020 78% · 2021 62% · 2022 60% · 2023 60% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
29% of LOUISIANA ORGAN PROCUREMENT AGENCY's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 30% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
65% of LOUISIANA ORGAN PROCUREMENT AGENCY's grant income comes from Louisiana funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $14k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
