You can design your gift in a way that’s most meaningful to you, focusing it where you want it to go.

How We Help

In 2008-2009, we gave 246 emergency grants to help vulnerable patients with basic needs, including food, transportation and housing.

Patient Care

Donations help support our charity care, emergency grants, rehabilitation scholarships, and staff training.

Education

Gifts help fund our education programs for patients as well as community education programs.

Research

Through their support of the Kidney Research Institute, our donors help us continue to lead the world in fighting kidney disease.

Northwest Kidney Centers keeps people in the Seattle area alive with dialysis care, educates the public about kidney health, and collaborates with UW Medicine in the Kidney Research Institute. We are one of very few community-based, nonprofit dialysis providers in the country. Founded in 1962, ours was the first out-of-hospital dialysis program in the world and it is still a model in the field.
