Hmmmm: Non profit organizations might pay some of their staff. But mostly people are volunteers.

Yes - professionals: There are 58 organ procurement organizations throughout the us. They recruit, train and employ most of the organ donation coordinators whose specialty is working closely to optimize the needs of the families of the deceased patients. They are on call 24/7/365, have an incredibly broad knowledge base, and handle very challenging circumstances with professionalism. Yes, they are salaried employees.
