Disaster Relief Grant Program
AKF is the nation's only rapid-response system that provides emergency financial assistance to people in the kidney community affected by a natural disaster.
The American Kidney Fund has activated its Disaster Relief Program, the nation's only rapid-response system that provides emergency financial assistance to dialysis and recent transplant patients, for those impacted by Hurricane Idalia.
The emergency $200 grants are dedicated to dialysis and post-transplant patients in the counties of Alachua, Baker, Citrus, Dixie, Franklin, Gilchrist, Gulf, Hamilton, Hernando, Hillsborough, Jefferson, Lafayette, Leon, Levy, Madison, Manatee, Marion, Nassau, Pasco, Pinellas, Putnam, Sarasota, Sumter, Suwannee, Taylor, Union, Volusia and Wakulla.
Financial donations are requested; 100% of donations will be used to assist kidney patients affected by natural disasters.
