Mission
American Kidney Fund (AKF) was founded in 1971, to help a single individual with kidney failure pay for dialysis. Thirty-six years later, AKF has become the leading source of direct financial aid to chronic kidney disease patients across the nation. In 2006, AKF served more than 63,500 patients, distributing $81.9 million in grants. With help from AKF, dialysis patients are able to maintain their health insurance coverage. AKF also provides assistance with expenses that insurance will not cover, such as transportation to dialysis, medications, special diet, kidney donor expenses and other treatment essentials. AKF's specialty programs help patients afford treatment during emergency travel and recover from natural disasters.
