SUPPORT

At the PKD Foundation of Canada, the needs for advanced treatment options and increased support of those living with PKD and their loved ones continues to grow. Please consider keeping us in mind as you make your end-of-year donation. Your support will help strengthen our mission to provide programs of research, advocacy, education and awareness.

As the end of the year closes in, time is running out on tax deductible donations. Canadian Federal and Provincials governments offer tax incentives (amounting to as much as 53% of your donation) to Canadians who give to registered Canadians charities. For many, it’s by leveraging these tax benefits that they can give more generously to charities.

AWARENESS

"People often think if PKD patients look healthy and normal on the outside, that they are not that sick. This is an important reminder that we do not know what people are going through, and how they are feeling inside."
