Thank you for helping to raise funds for the East Tennessee Kidney Foundation (ETKF)!

East Tennessee Kidney Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, is dedicated to connecting individual East Tennesseans to the early detection of kidney disease, education, and access to life sustaining care. We serve low-income individuals suffering from varying stages of kidney disease in 19 East Tennessee counties: Anderson, Blount, Campbell, Claiborne, Cocke, Cumberland, Grainger, Greene, Hamblen, Hawkins, Jefferson, Knox, Loudon, Monroe, Morgan, Roane, Scott, Sevier & Union.

ETKF operates solely on grants, donations, fundraisers and the care and support of our amazing community. We are 100% local; all donations and resources REMAIN in EAST TENNESSEE. 

Your hard work raising money supports individual East Tennesseans suffering from kidney disease through the following programs:

1. Dialysis Transportation. ETKF provides $75 per month to 300+ low-income dialysis patients so they can afford transportation to and from life-sustaining dialysis treatments. This covers expenses such as gas, bus fare, ETHRA fees, etc.
2. Dental Assistance for Transplant. ETKF provides $2,000 in dental work for those whose last barrier to placement on the kidney transplant waiting list is dental clearance.
3. Nutritional Supplements. ETKF provides FREE high protein bars to dialysis patients in 19 East Tennessee counties.
4. Early Kidney Disease Screenings. ETKF provides FREE screenings to the community in order to detect early warning signs of kidney disease.

You can be someone’s hero by supporting these important, local programs that save lives every day. Thank you!

Thank you for your support!
