Give Your Way

AAKP encourages you to - Give Your Way! 

As the oldest and largest, fully-independent kidney patient organization in the U.S. – AAKP depends on contributions from you to help support the programs and activities of the Association. AAKP has aggressively distinguished itself as the leader in patient-centered education, advocacy, and patient engagement - making AAKP highly respected among fellow non-profit organizations; professional associations; the medical community; renal-industry partners; federal and government agencies; and most importantly the individuals and families we serve coping with chronic kidney disease.

We know you work hard for everything you earn – so AAKP pledges to work hard to put every dollar to work for kidney patients. Whether you are able to give a little or give a lot, AAKP has made it easy to give what you can, when you can and how you can.

In Honor of Gifts Making a donation on behalf of someone or in recognition of a special event is one of the most special and memorable ways to give to a charity. AAKP offers the following “In Honor Gift” programs:

  • Memorials: Loosing a loved-one is very difficult, AAKP helps you carry-on their legacy by accepting donations on behalf of those who are no longer with us. In recognition of your donation, an acknowledgement will be sent to the family. AAKP can also provide cards to distribute during services to encourage friends and family members to donate to AAKP in memory of your loved one.
  • Anniversary and Birthday: Share your anniversary, birthday or special occasion with AAKP! AAKP will provide you with “in-lieu of gift” cards asking your friends and family to make a donation to AAKP on your behalf. An acknowledgement will also be sent to you so you can personally thank those who donated to AAKP in recognition of your special event.
  • Kidney Transplant Anniversary: Every year you can celebrate a successful transplant is an amazing milestone. Help others understand the gift of life and organ donation by supporting the work of AAKP. You and your kidney can help raise awareness of AAKP and the importance of organ donation by asking your friends and family to celebrate your transplant anniversary with a tax deductible gift to a most noble cause. An acknowledgement will also be sent to you so you can personally thank those who donated to AAKP in recognition of your transplant anniversary.
