National Kidney Foundation

The National Kidney Foundation provides kidney health education, patient and family resources, advocacy, research support, and transplant information. Its resources cover kidney disease, diet and nutrition, dialysis, transplantation, kidney risk, testing, and home dialysis. People affected by kidney disease or transplant can connect by phone with someone who has lived through a similar experience for answers and emotional support. The foundation also supports medical professionals through continuing education and membership opportunities, while advocates and partners can participate in policy, research, and partnership initiatives. Volunteer opportunities, fundraising events, kidney walks, and local connections are available for people who want to support kidney health. The organization serves communities in San Francisco and nationwide.
