Armenian Bone Marrow Donor Registry

What Armenian Bone Marrow Donor Registry does

The Armenian Bone Marrow Donor Registry (ABMDR) is a nonprofit organization that operates an international donor registry connecting volunteer bone marrow donors of Armenian ancestry with patients in need of stem cell transplants. Headquartered in Yerevan, Armenia with operational presence in West Hollywood, United States, ABMDR maintains a registry of 33,500+ donors across 35 countries and four continents. The organization has processed 9,000 patient referrals, banked 202 cord blood units, and facilitated 44 successful bone marrow transplants.

ABMDR's core product is its donor registry database, which it leverages to match compatible donors with Armenian patients worldwide who suffer from leukemia, lymphoma, and other blood disorders. The organization operates a dedicated Stem Cell Harvesting Center paired with cryopreservation infrastructure in Yerevan, enabling vertical integration from donor recruitment through physical stem cell collection to long-term specimen storage. It maintains a formal partnership with EFI (Embryology and Fertility Institute) for collaborative expertise in reproductive and transplant medicine.

The business model is entirely donation-based: ABMDR charges no fees to patients or donors, funding operations through charitable contributions, benefactor giving, and a diversified event-based fundraising program that includes the flagship Match for Life Gala (27th anniversary in 2026), Walk of Life community walks in Los Angeles and New England, Laughter for Life comedy nights, and an annual Charity Golf Tournament. Go-to-market is community-led, relying on grassroots outreach through Armenian diaspora networks, religious institutions (Western Diocese churches), and volunteer-driven recruitment drives. The primary customer segment is Armenian patients requiring transplants, with the patient population as the mission-critical beneficiary and the donor pool as the core operational asset.
