Mission

The American Kidney Fund’s (AKF) mission is to fight kidney disease and help people live healthier lives. AKF works on behalf of 1 in 7 American adults living with kidney disease, and the millions more at risk, with an unmatched scope of programs that support people wherever they are in their fight against kidney disease—from prevention through transplant. With programs of prevention, early detection, financial support, disease management, clinical research, innovation and advocacy, no kidney organization directly impacts more lives than AKF. AKF is one of the nation’s top-rated nonprofits, investing 96 cents of every donated dollar in programs.

    1 in 7 Americans are living with kidney disease and we’re counting on you to share your voice in their fight, just like AKF Ambassador Artise Carr. Artise says, “I advocate because I’ve lived the fight — 27 years on dialysis, motherhood during treatment, three transplants, and a lifetime of learning what resilience truly means. Advocacy isn’t just what I do — it’s who I am. I speak so others don’t feel invisible, I stand so others don’t stand alone, and I will always advocate for those who cannot advocate for themselves.” Learn more about becoming an AKF Ambassador and joining our Advocacy Network!

    As I celebrate my graduation, I want to honor this milestone by giving back. Instead of traditional gifts, I’m asking for donations to the American Kidney Fund (AKF), an organization dedicated to fighting kidney disease and helping individuals lead healthier lives. This cause is close to my heart, as I believe everyone deserves access to the necessary resources and support in their fight against kidney disease. Your contributions will help AKF continue their vital work: Providing financial assistance for treatments and medications to those in need. Supporting education and advocacy programs to raise awareness about kidney health and prevention. Join me in celebrating this special moment by making a difference in the lives of those affected by kidney disease. Every dollar counts in this collective effort!
