Introduction
 
As a charitable, not-for-profit organisation, the National Kidney Foundation of Malaysia (NKF) depends on public generosity and corporate funding to provide affordable dialysis treatment to all our patients who are from the lower income group.
However, with more charities being registered each year, the available funds are stretched to the limit, resulting in the NKF having to increase the number of its fundraising activities.
Currently, we need to raise RM3 million each year to subsidise the cost of dialysis treatment for our 950 patients, so that they need only pay RM50 per session of dialysis treatment at the NKF, compared to between RM150 and RM250 at private medical facilities.
We cannot do it alone, and we desperately need your help. If you are unable to make a direct donation, then please help us by organising various fundraising projects and activities.
Together, we can help more patients benefit from our healthcare activities. Your money helps us save lives.
What fundraising challenges does NKF face?
Unlike some other ailments, kidney disease is a silent killer and most victims do not even know they have a problem until their kidneys fail. Hence, the public is often unaware of the seriousness of the problem, and therein lies our difficulty in raising funds.
But that is not all. Access to corporations and businesses that can assist the NKF in fundraising projects and the shortage of volunteers is another challenge.
What is the NKF’s fundraising strategy?
Public education is the backbone of all our fundraising activities. By informing the public of the preventive and management aspects of kidney diseases, we can create greater awareness of the financial burden that kidney diseases place on the patient. If we can achieve this, the public will be more sympathetic to our cause and assist us by making regular donations. Most importantly, we strive to build relationships with individuals and corporations that are willing to "adopt" the NKF and support our work on a long-term basis.
How can the public contribute to the NKF?
You can help us not just by donating money but by contributing fundraising ideas or joining hands with us to organise fundraising projects and create awareness of kidney diseases and kidney failure.
Shopping complexes, hotels and sports clubs can assist by providing us venues to hold events or help sponsor the entire event with gifts or prizes. The public can chip in by participating in our activities or by signing up as volunteers to assist us during various awareness campaigns and fundraising projects.
