giving societies

Individuals, families, and businesses who join the National Kidney Foundation of Illinois' Giving Societies have resolved to make a major impact in the fight against kidney disease.

 

By pledging serious resources to the NKFI, Giving Society members make our mission their own, and help blaze the trail towards a healthier future. Their generosity plays a signifigant role in powering our efforts, and their dedication supports programs in education, patient services, and cutting-edge research.
