Major Gifts & Endowments

Major Gifts

Thank you to our supporters, the PKD Foundation of Canada has contributed over $2 Million towards critical polycystic kidney disease research. Critical PKD research, programs of awareness and support for PKD patients and care, requires funding. Through the bright minds, passionate advocates and generosity of our supporters, we have seen huge strides within PKD care over the 20 years. But, we still need your help to achieve our ultimate goal- a cure for PKD. Generous gifts of $5,000 + will have a significant impact in the fight to #endPKD and impact the lives of millions of people diagnosed with PKD worldwide. 

Endowment Fund

An endowment fund is a charitable investment that is permanently invested to generate yearly income to support the PKD Foundation of Canada's mission. With a predicted source of revenue from an endowment fund, the PKD Foundation of Canada can better plan and execute services to meet the needs of the PKD community. An Endowment Fund can be in your own name or to honour a loved one. You can also specify which programs you'd like your contribution to go towards, or give unrestricted funds that the PKD Foundation of Canada can designate to where it's most needed. You can leave a lasting legacy on the lives of those affected by PKD with a gift of an endowment fund.

If you are interested in leaving a major gift or endowment fund, please contact our Executive Director, Kathleen Barnard, at kbarnard[at]endpkd.ca to learn more about how you can structure your gift to ensure it delivers the impact that you desire, and that the PKD community needs.
