Mission
American Kidney Fund (AKF) was founded in 1971, to help a single individual with kidney failure pay for dialysis. Thirty-seven years later, AKF has become the leading source of direct financial aid to chronic kidney disease patients across the nation. In 2007, AKF helped 68,000 patients, distributing over $100 million in treatment-related grants. Grants from the AKF fall into three categories: health insurance premium program grants; Medicare part D grants; and safety net grants. The work of the American Kidney Fund goes beyond financial assistance. It is also our mission to provide health education to people with, and at risk for, kidney disease.
