Mission
To prevent kidney disease and improve the quality of life for those living with it.
Program accomplishments
- Health Education: Chronic kidney disease is a public health problem of epidemic proportions. More than a million people in Michigan have CKD, and most don't know it. The majority of these cases are caused by uncontrolled diabetes or high blood pressure. Certain racial and ethnic groups and people with a family history of CKD are also at high risk. The NKFM's top priority is prevention so the Foundation offers many programs aimed at educating high risk populations on their risks for CKD and how healthy lifestyle changes can prevent them from developing CKD. The NKFM serves children and adults across the state through innovative, grassroots programs. In addition to prevention and educational programs, the NKFM also works to increase organ donation, provide patient services, and partner with state and local governments, and community groups to work toward a healthier Michigan. The NKFM is the top resource to the public and media about the significant problem of CKD in Michigan.Expenses $6,210,011 · revenue $76,220
- atient and Community Services: Patient Services: The Foundation provides direct services to thousands of individuals each year. Services are delivered, primarily, to individuals on dialysis or with a transplant and their families or caregivers. The Foundation provides services to help with emergency needs and prescription medication as well as empowerment and continuing education programs. Services include an internship program, emergency funds, disease self-management programs and an information and referral program. The Foundation also offers scholarships to people on dialysis or with a transplant to help them continue their education. Community Services: The NKFM offers health fair and health education programs throughout the state to help identify and treat early kidney disease in those people at the highest risk for developing CKD so they can prevent or delay its onset. The NKFM also offers a number of volunteer opportunities for people looking to get involved with the Foundation through either the state office in Ann Arbor or the branch offices in Detroit and Grand Rapids. The NKFM has developed a significant advocacy program to speak on behalf of the needs of people with kidney disease and in need of organ transplants.Expenses $6,396,419 · grants $81,671 · revenue $6,267,015
- All Other Achievements: The NKFM's focus on preventing or slowing the progression of CKD allows us to educate the public, as well as professionals, through various programs and services. Additionally, the NKFM works with managed care organizations to encourage proactive identification and treatment of people with CKD, prevention of the leading causes of kidney disease, which are diabetes and high blood pressure, and offers worksite education. The organization was recognized for its success in sound fiscal management by receiving a 4-star rating, each year since 2006, from Charity Navigator - the nation's leading charity evaluator and holds the highest-level Platinum rating from Candid.
