Set Up Your Account
Each Program Director will need to set up a new account in the NMS Match System for the 2025 Breast Match.
1.
Enter the email address of the Program Director.
The email address you enter will uniquely identify your account and will be your username for the NMS Match System.
- If you are responsible for more than one program, you can use the same account (email and password) for all your programs.
- If the email address entered is different from the one pre-populated on the screen, or if an account already exists with that email address, you will need to follow the onscreen prompts to confirm ownership of the email address.

What if I want the Breast Match communications sent to a different contact?
Once registered, the Program Director can setup secondary user accounts for program staff from the Account page in the NMS Match System. Secondary users are provided with limited permissions. They can view, manage, and change all program information and are copied on relevant emails (e.g., confirmations, reminders, etc.) sent to the Program Director, but they can not add or manage other users.
2.
Provide a password and complete the security questions for your account.
Once your account has been created, you can log into the NMS Match System. If you quit the registration process before it is completed, you can log in at another time and complete the process.
PLEASE NOTE: To ensure emails from NMS are not inadvertently directed to your "Spam" or "Junk Mail" folder, please ensure all NMS emails and/or IPs are included on your Allow-List.
