Donor impact!

As we reflect on the past year, we are humbled by the incredible impact that our supporters have had on our mission. If you would like to see how donations to the PKD Foundation of Canada make a difference to our community, we invite you to read our 2023 donor impact report.

Looking ahead, we have ambitious plans to increase our momentum, tackle even more significant challenges, and create a lasting impact on the lives of PKD patients. Together, let's continue this incredible journey towards a brighter, more hopeful future.

Don't forget, we are grateful for your 2023 donations made right up until December 31, 2023.

Thank you!

The PKD Foundation of Canada would like to thank everyone who made a donation for GivingTuesday. Your support means more to us than words can convey. Thanks to your contributions, we are one step closer to advancing our mission of finding a cure for polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and improving the lives of those affected by this condition.
