Kidney Foundation of Ohio

The Kidney Foundation of Ohio was formed in 1950 by a group of parents whose children suffered with childhood nephrosis. Incorporated and determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be a 501(c)(3), Not-for-Profit Organization in 1961, the Foundation celebrates 67 years of service to the community in 2017.

The Kidney Foundation has gone through several transitions over the years, including affiliation and later disaffiliation with the National Kidney Foundation. As time went on, the Foundation grew in size, eventually covering 32 counties in northern and eastern Ohio and incorporating three chapters. Currently, we provide assistance to not only 32 counties in Ohio, but five counties in northern West Virginia, as well as chapter affiliates in Lake, Summit and Wayne Counties. 

What was once a small group of families has become the premier agency in Ohio for providing direct assistance and education to those suffering the effects of kidney failure. The Kidney Foundation remains one of the few health and human service agencies in northeast Ohio which continues to provide direct dollars to patients to assist them through the devastation of kidney disease. The Foundation remains an Ohio-based organization and all funds raised in Ohio, stay in Ohio.
