Mission
THE MISSION OF THE AMERICAN KIDNEY FUND IS TO FIGHT KIDNEY DISEASE AND HELP PEOPLE LIVE HEALTHIER LIVES. FOUNDED IN 1971, AKF FIGHTS KIDNEY DISEASE ON ALL FRONTS WITH A COMPREHENSIVE SCOPE OF PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORT PEOPLE ACROSS THE SPECTRUM FROM DISEASE AWARENESS AND PREVENTION THROUGH POST-TRANSPLANT LIVING.
Activities or mission (Part I)
WE HELP PEOPLE FIGHT KIDNEY DISEASE AND LIVE HEALTHIER LIVES.

PATIENT ASSISTANCE: IN 2023, WE HELPED MORE THAN 66,000 LOW-INCOME KIDNEY FAILURE PATIENTS IN ALL 50 STATES GAIN ACCESS TO LIFESAVING HEALTHCARE, INCLUDING DIALYSIS AND TRANSPLANT, BY PROVIDING NEED-BASED GRANTS TO PAY FOR HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUMS, TRANSPORTATION TO TREATMENT, PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS AND NUTRITIONAL PRODUCTS, AND EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE IN THE WAKE OF NATURAL DISASTERS. WITH AKF'S SUPPORT FOR HEALTH COVERAGE THEY OTHERWISE COULD NOT AFFORD, MORE THAN 1,600 DIALYSIS PATIENTS HAD LIFESAVING KIDNEY TRANSPLANTS AND POST-TRANSPLANT CARE, REPRESENTING NEARLY 6% OF ALL U.S. KIDNEY TRANSPLANTS PERFORMED IN 2023. WE PROVIDED NEARLY 300 DIALYSIS PATIENTS DISASTER RELIEF ASSISTANCE IN THE WAKE OF HURRICANES, FLOODS, AND WILDFIRES. PATIENTS SEEKING HELP FROM AKF MUST DEMONSTRATE FINANCIAL NEED THROUGH COMPLETION OF A GRANT APPLICATION. ON AVERAGE, OUR GRANT RECIPIENTS HAVE TOTAL HOUSEHOLD INCOMES LESS THAN $27,500 PER YEAR.

PUBLIC EDUCATION, AWARENESS AND PREVENTION ACTIVITIES:AWARENESS AND PREVENTION: 37 MILLION AMERICANS HAVE CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE (CKD), AND MOST DON'T REALIZE THEY HAVE IT. AKF'S EDUCATION PROGRAMS HELP INDIVIDUALS IDENTIFY THEIR RISKS FOR CKD AND MANAGE CKD, KIDNEY FAILURE AND CO-MORBIDITIES. A HALLMARK OF OUR AWARENESS-BUILDING WORK WAS OUR FOURTH ANNUAL KIDNEY ACTION WEEK, HELD FROM MARCH 20-24, 2023. THE VIRTUAL EDUCATIONAL EVENT WAS STREAMED THROUGH A DIGITAL CONFERENCE PLATFORM AND SIMULCASTED THROUGH AKF'S FACEBOOK AND YOUTUBE SOCIAL CHANNELS. MORE THAN 5,600 PEOPLE PREREGISTERED FOR THE EVENT, WITH MORE THAN 82,000 PEOPLE VIEWING THE COMBINED LIVE AND ARCHIVED SESSIONS. WE PROVIDED PREVENTION AND AWARENESS MESSAGING THROUGHOUT THE YEAR ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS, WHICH GREW TO 220,000 FOLLOWERS IN 2023.PUBLIC EDUCATIONWE CONTINUALLY ENHANCE OUR EDUCATION CONTENT AND OFFERINGS. OUR WEBSITE HAD MORE THAN 16 MILLION VIEWS IN 2023 FROM PEOPLE LOOKING FOR KIDNEY HEALTH INFORMATION. WE ALSO CONTINUED TO ENRICH OUR AWARD-WINNING KIDNEY KITCHEN WEBSITE, A RESOURCE FOR PLANNING A KIDNEY-FRIENDLY DIET, AND THE SITE HAD MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION VIEWS IN 2023. WE ALSO LAUNCHED OUR KIDNEY HEALTH FOR ALL WEBSITE, THE ONLINE CENTERPIECE OF AKF'S HEALTH EQUITY PROGRAMMING. WE CONTINUED TO RUN AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS WHICH FOCUS ON MANAGING VARIOUS ASPECTS OF KIDNEY DISEASE AND ITS CO-MORBIDITIES. WE ALSO CONTINUED TO PROVIDE OUR KIDNEY HEALTH COACH PEER-TO-PEER COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM, WHICH NOW INCLUDES MORE THAN 5,800 COACHES NATIONWIDE. FOR CHILDREN, LIVING WITH KIDNEY DISEASE IS EXTREMELY CHALLENGING. AKF OFFERS A FREE, NATIONWIDE ONLINE VIRTUAL CAMP PROGRAM FOR PEDIATRIC KIDNEY PATIENTS. THE CAMPERS PARTICIPATE MONTHLY IN MODERATED ACTIVITIES AND DISCUSSIONS THAT ALLOW THEM TO CONNECT WITH OTHER CHILDREN AROUND THE COUNTRY WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME CHALLENGES. IN 2023, NEARLY 200 CHILDREN PARTICIPATED IN AKF'S VIRTUAL CAMP. AKF ALSO LAUNCHED A SPECIAL VIRTUAL CAMP IN 2023 FOR CHILDREN LIVING WITH CYSTINOSIS, A RARE KIDNEY DISEASE. AKF ALSO CONTINUED IN 2023 TO PROVIDE A NATIONWIDE ART CONTEST FOR PEDIATRIC KIDNEY PATIENTS. AKF IS A STRONG AND INDEPENDENT VOICE ADVOCATING FOR POLICIES THAT IMPROVE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE AND STRENGTHEN THE QUALITY OF CARE FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH KIDNEY DISEASE. WE WORK WITH CONGRESS, THE ADMINISTRATION, FEDERAL AGENCIES, AND STATE GOVERNMENTS TO ADVANCE LEGISLATION AND REGULATORY POLICIES IMPORTANT TO KIDNEY PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. ENGAGING PATIENTS AND CAREGIVERS AROUND ADVOCACY ISSUES IS CENTRAL TO THIS WORK. IN 2023, WE GREW OUR ADVOCACY NETWORK TO NEARLY 28,000 PATIENTS AND FAMILY MEMBERS AND PROVIDED OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENGAGEMENT: TWO IN-PERSON FLY-INS, INCLUDING ONE FOCUSED ON RARE KIDNEY DISEASES; 4 IN-PERSON HEALTH EQUITY TRAININGS AND 3 VIRTUAL HEALTH EQUITY TRAININGS. IN APRIL 2023 WE HELD OUR PATIENT ACCESS INITIATIVE SUMMIT, FOLLOWED LATER IN THE YEAR BY A WHITE PAPER ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT CAME OUT OF THE SUMMIT, FOCUSING ON FOUR AREAS OF CONCERN TO KIDNEY PATIENTS: SCREENING AND TESTING, PATIENT EDUCATION AND NAVIGATION, THE FDA APPROVAL PROCESS AND INSURANCE COVERAGE ISSUES. WE PUBLISHED OUR THIRD ANNUAL "STATE OF THE STATES: LIVING DONOR PROTECTION REPORT CARD," WHICH HOLDS EACH STATE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE LAWS IT HAS IN PLACE TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO BE LIVING KIDNEY DONORS. SINCE AKF BEGAN SPEARHEADING THE LIVING DONOR PROTECTION ADVOCACY WORK IN 2018, 32 STATES HAVE ENACTED LAWS THAT REMOVE ROADBLOCKS TO BEING LIVING DONORS.PROFESSIONAL EDUCATIONAKF DEVELOPS COURSES THAT ARE PROVIDED ONLINE AND MEET THE CONTINUING EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS FOR PROFESSIONALS WHO TREAT KIDNEY PATIENTS. IN 2023, THERE WERE MORE THAN 91,000 AKF COURSES COMPLETED BY PHYSICIANS, NURSES, SOCIAL WORKERS, DIALYSIS TECHNICIANS, DIETITIANS, HEALTH EDUCATORS AND OTHER RENAL CARE PROFESSIONALS. THE GROWTH IN THIS AREA WAS IN LARGE PART DUE TO THE CREATION OF TWO NEW ACCREDITED UCKD PROJECT COURSES ON IDENTIFYING CKD CAUSALITY, WHICH SAW NEARLY 15,000 COURSE COMPLETIONS.

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.
