NKF Serving Minnesota
Join us at one of our events this year
Patient Social Summit
Patient Social Summit 3/24/2024
The National Kidney Foundation's Kidney Patient Social Summit is an opportunity to bring together anyone affected by kidney disease (pre-dialysis, dialysis, ESRD, transplant, living donors, care givers and family members) to learn about topics that concern the patient and their entire family. The Kidney Patient Social Summit is attended by patients, family members, health professionals, and the community. The event is sponsored by those interested in reaching patients directly and supporting education about CKD. The event will be Sunday March 24th from 11-2:30 PM hosted in person at LifeSource, 2225 West River Rd N., Minneapolis, MN 55411.
7th Annual Orange Gala
7th Annual Orange Gala
The National Kidney Foundation is revolutionizing the fight to save lives by eliminating preventable kidney disease, accelerating innovation for the dignity of the patient experience, and dismantling structural inequities in kidney care, dialysis, and transplantation.
The Orange Gala: In Bloom is a celebration of the new life, which is possible thanks to kidney donation. Join us as we celebrate life, in full bloom.
CKD Leadership Summit
Chronic Kidney Disease Leadership Summit
As part of a national NKF Collective Impact strategy, Minnesota stakeholders are implementing a roadmap to drive a cultural shift in primary care- toward increasing early diagnosis and appropriate management of CKD, particularly in communities disproportionately burdened by CKD. Join us for the first stakeholder's meeting on July 24th, 2024!

Drive for Dialysis
Challenge your staff to join the fight against kidney disease with a hands-on, team-building activity to assemble care packages for dialysis patients in the community where you live and work. Drive for Dialysis is a hands-on, non-skills based corporate volunteer opportunity that allows you to engage your staff/colleagues from the comforts of your office. Employees unite as a team to assemble care packages for delivery to a local dialysis clinic(s), while learning about kidney disease and its risk factors. NKF will provide participating organizations with a standard care package and other tools to make it easy to maximize your impact.
