Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To empower and support those at risk or affected by kidney disease. Its vision is a Tennessee where the rate of kidney disease is minimized and everyone who needs care receives care.

  • Access to Care, Food Security, and Emergency Financial Assistance - provides a lifeline for low-income individuals with End Stage Kidney Disease who cannot afford the cost of transportation to and from life-sustaining dialysis appointments. TKF is the only organization providing transportation assistance for dialysis patients and transplant candidates in Middle Tennessee and funded more than 80,000 trips in 2024-2025 year. Also, the emergency assistance program aids individuals who are facing the termination of utilities, eviction from housing, and depleted food supplies which are essential to kidney health. The program provides relief in times of crisis that allows individuals to plan and save for the following months and concentrate on their health outcomes. Also, TKF addresses food security concerns and adherence to kidney-related diet for low-income kidney patients by providing fresh, kidney-friendly meals delivered to their homes at no cost to participants. TKF provided 12,675 meals in 2024-2025.

    Expenses $769,149

  • Preventive services and Community Education - provides free prevention kidney health screenings throughout Middle Tennessee at workplaces, churches, community health fairs and other places it can reach individuals who are most at risk for kidney disease. A kidney health screening includes a medical history questionnaire, blood pressure reading, height and weight measurements, A1C test, and a urinalysis. Every participant talks one-on-one with a physician or health educator to understand their results, possible risks and action steps. TKF provides exhibits at community events and public education presentations at workplaces, churches, health fairs and civic groups to educate the community about kidney disease and identifying possible risk factors. In 2024-2025, TKF held 22 education and preventive screening events, helping 162 people identify health risks and more than 50% of participants showing abnormal screening results and receiving information about how to ensure follow-up care is received.

  • Professional Education - provides administrative support related to the coordination of transportation, community education and prevention program services. TKF participates in and hosts professional education events alongside kidney health professionals to maintain the most current level of knowledge about kidney health trends. TKF offers education and prevention programming through free in-person kidney screenings and outreach events. Each screening consists of a urinalysis, blood pressure reading, and height and weight calculations. Screenings help identify health issues such as hypertension and diabetes that can lead to CKD and ESKD. Medical Professionals are on-site to offer education and resources and encourage participants to seek follow-up care. Many attendees of TKF screenings do not participate in regular doctor visits, have limited knowledge of their health status, and often do not know their numbers. These screening events provide life-saving information. In the past year, TKF has held seven screenings throughout our 42-county service area with over 150 individuals screened in total. Of those, 70 of our participants had abnormal results the result of an elevated blood pressure, the presence of protein in the urine causing an abnormal urinalysis or both and were referred for follow-up care. Early detection is the key to kidney health. Also, TKF also hosts a Health Equity Patient Focus Group and Health Equity Roundtable series, working with selected healthcare professionals, community members, and patients to examine how trust is established and cultivated with patients and their providers, what steps can be taken by both patients and providers to improve communication and trust, and what resources can be provided for patients and providers to foster.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
