Walk for PKD
Fundraise Your Way
Give Online
The PKD Foundation is the only organization in the U.S. solely dedicated to finding treatments and a cure for PKD. We do this by promoting fundraising, education, advocacy, support, and awareness on a national level, along with remote services to local communities across the country.

We know that not everyone can get involved locally, which is why we created several remote volunteering opportunities to help you get involved.

If you aren’t sure how you’d like to get involved, fill out and submit our volunteer form.
We’ll follow up with you to match you with an opportunity!
Fundraising Ambassadors

The Fundraising Ambassador plays an important role in the local PKD community by identifying local fundraising opportunities and organizing events.
With support from PKD Foundation staff, your contribution will drive fundraising that supports the mission of the PKD Foundation.

Peer-to-Peer Mentors

Our peer mentoring program connects patients, family members, or friends with someone who can be a shoulder to lean on.
Whether you or someone you care about has just been diagnosed, Peer Mentors are here to help by listening to concerns and sharing similar experiences to ensure no one feels alone.
If you have experience with PKD, consider becoming a peer mentor today.
