Welcome to the First Giving site for the Northeast Kidney Foundation. The mission of the Northeast Kidney Foundation is to improve the lives of those affected by kidney disease and related conditions through early identification, intervention, prevention and support; to increase organ donation; and to empower those we serve to be effective voices for better healthcare at the local, state and federal levels.   26 million people across the country have kidney disease and sadly. most don't know it.  There are also more than 110,000 people waiting for a life saving transplant, with 85,000 waiting for a kidney. 

Your support helps programs right here in your own community, including free kidney screenings for those most at risk; direct patient assistance and support; school based programs; local research; community outreach and education, healthcare advocacy, and so much more! Please consider supporting us by registering for one of our upcoming events, or create your own fundraising page and raise funds any time of the year! You can also make a donation and share this page with others and encourage them to support us. Either way you are secure in knowing that your funds are being put to use to benefit the local kidney community.
