Kidney Spotlight
"What I've learned -- through this journey, and being involved in the community, and being involved with National Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin -- is that living organ donation extends life."

Join in Building Kidney Connections
You are making a difference in kidney health! You support kidney warriors at every stage of their journey, by sending our team, including 100+ volunteers, into the community to talk about kidney health and transplant. A new or changing diagnosis – or a life-saving decision to donate an organ – can feel scary, intimidating, or isolating. Thanks to you and people like you, no one in Wisconsin has to make this journey alone. Please consider investing in kidney health by making a gift to the National Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin today.
In partnership with NKFW, you support all people impacted by kidney disease or organ transplantation. By empowering patients, inspiring action, and raising awareness of kidney disease and organ transplantation, you make a positive impact in the community around you. In fact, you save lives by increasing public access to information, education, and early intervention, and by providing opportunities for volunteers to share their expertise and compassion with communities across Wisconsin.
