What Onelegacy does
Mission
Onelegacy saves and heals lives through organ, eye and tissue donation, comforts the families we serve, and inspires our communities to donate life.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Organ, eye, and tissue donation in the united states is more than just a pink donor dot on your driver's license. There is a well established and experienced network of federally designated non-profits across the country, called organ procurement organizations (opos), all working together to save lives.Onelegacy is the nation's largest opo, serving the diverse southern california region. Working with hospitals, physicians, transplant centers and the community, Onelegacy educates about and facilitates donation, as well as builds a community of long-term support for the families who give the generous gift of life. Onelegacy is southern california's organ, eye, and tissue recovery organization, serving the region's bridge to life, connecting donors to patients in need.during 2024, Onelegacy had 740 recovered donors, 2,470 organs recovered for transplant, and 1,940 organs transplanted to organ recipients.

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 2023 to 2024, from $141M to $217M (+54%).
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.
0% of ONELEGACY’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (1% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $10k → $18k.
2 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 16% 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: $7.0M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Onelegacy Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money ONELEGACY raised.
From the IRS filings of ONELEGACY’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
ONELEGACY leans on a few funders — its largest provides 30% of grant income and the top three 72%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
99% 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 ONELEGACY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 67% · 2019 100% · 2020 95% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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.
Where its funders are
ONELEGACY draws 87% of its grant income from funders outside California, across 5 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $11k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
Against its field
ONELEGACY runs a healthier operating margin than three-quarters of the 2,075 health nonprofits its size.
