How Your Money Helps

The money you raise for the National Kidney Foundation Kidney Walk will ensure that we continue our mission of helping the millions with kidney disease. About 79 cents of every dollar raised goes directly to vital NKF programs and services, including:
- Kidney Disease Education through public awareness campaigns about risk factors and early detection, and free patient resources for patients and their families
- Early Detection and Prevention with NKF's free community kidney health screenings and risk factor assessments
- Advancing Clinical Care by educating healthcare professionals and developing and refining CKD guidelines for diagnosis and treatment
- Supporting the Search for Better Treatments by funding millions of dollars into kidney-related clinical research
- Advocating for kidney patients with better public policies that benefit kidney patients, transplant recipients, organ donors and their families
- Promoting Organ Donation through END THE WAIT, a groundbreaking collaborative initiative to increase organ donation, and the NKF U.S. Transplant Games, an Olympic-style event that showcases the gifts of transplantation and organ donation
