Help Us Continue the Fight - Donate to the 60th Anniversary Fund Campaign

Donate or sign up to become a fundraiser

We deeply appreciate your generous support of the National Kidney Foundation over the years. With your help, we have made tremendous strides in the fight against kidney disease. In 1950, when the NKF was founded, there were no dialysis treatments or transplants, which meant people with kidney failure simply died. Today, individuals and families with kidney disease can often enjoy rich and productive lives.

Through our offices nationwide, the NKF provides early detection screenings, valuable public and professional education, research for new treatments and therapies, and vital services to people with kidney disease, dialysis patients, transplant recipients and organ donors.

The need for our services remains critical. 26 million Americans, 1 in 9 adults, have chronic kidney disease and another 20 million are at risk. As we commemorate our 60th Anniversary we ask you to join us in recommitting ourselves to the fight against kidney disease.

Thank you for helping us to continue to provide help and hope to everyone affected by kidney disease.
