The Kidney Foundation of Canada is the national volunteer organization committed to eliminating the burden of kidney disease through:

Our 60th Anniversary: Let’s Keep Making History

When a group of dedicated volunteers first founded The Kidney Foundation of Canada in 1964, people experiencing kidney failure had little hope of survival. In our 60 years of developing research opportunities, programs, services, and awareness campaigns, we have helped to change the course of kidney disease, thanks to our generous supporters.

With your support, there are vastly improved treatment options, discoveries about early detection, improved educational resources and achievements in advocacy.

Steadfast is our commitment to everyone impacted by kidney disease. You are our inspiration as we strive to do more.
