About
Our Vision is excellent kidney health, optimal quality of life for those affected by kidney disease, and a cure.
For over 60 years, this vision has guided us to be a collaborative, inventive and focused leader in the development of programs, services, research opportunities and awareness campaigns that have had a positive impact on the 1 in 10 Canadians living with or at risk of kidney disease.
The Kidney Foundation’s national research program has grown to become one of the most important sources of funding for scientists conducting kidney-related research. Our commitment extends to providing education, information and support to people living with or at risk of kidney disease, through all phases of their journey.
Our Impact
The Kidney Foundation stands firm for every one of the 4.1 million Canadians living with or at risk of kidney disease – no matter who they are, where they live, or what stage of the journey.
Through our support and education programs, we are changing lives every day. We give Canadians the knowledge and tools to take control of their kidney health and we help connect them to a supportive community, so that no one faces kidney disease alone.
We are driving kidney research that will change the course of kidney disease. We are focused on funding innovations that will lead to earlier detection, better treatments and breakthroughs in transplant that have the potential to reshape the future of kidney health.
Through our coordinated advocacy efforts, we are breaking down the systemic barriers that limit access to care for thousands of Canadians across the country. We are pushing for earlier diagnosis, access to medications that delay the progression of kidney disease and improve quality of life.
