National Kidney Foundation:

The National Kidney Foundation Serving the National Capital Area (NKF/NCA) is the leader in the fight against kidney disease. A major voluntary health organization, the Foundation seeks to prevent kidney and urinary tract diseases, improve the health and well being of individuals and families affected by these diseases, and increase the availability of all organs for transplantation. Since its inception in 1956, the NKF/NCA has made great strides in the quest to understand, prevent, and treat diseases of the kidney and urinary tract. One of their most significant goals is to detect kidney disease early, or prevent its onset entirely. For those patients who already have the disease, the Foundation works to ensure they receive quality care and have the opportunity to live their lives to the fullest. For those patients on the transplant waiting list, the Foundation works to increase the pool of potential donors through innovative programs.
