When you join one of our Giving Circles, you become an inspirational leader in the search for a cure for kidney cancer. 100% of your gift will support kidney cancer research and patient programs, so you never have to wonder about the true scope of your impact. Contact Kendall Monroe, Chief Advancement Officer, to learn more about becoming a member of one of the following esteemed groups.
Join our Cornerstone Circle by becoming a monthly donor. By easily setting up your recurring gifts, you become part of the backbone of the KCA’s transformational work.
Example: $250 could sustain our mission on a monthly basis.
Members of our Champions Circle join like-minded philanthropic leaders committed to finding a cure for kidney cancer. KCA Champions help support our core patient programs and drive progress through research.
Example: $1,200 can send one person to Washington DC to advocate for increased federal kidney cancer research funding.
KCA Innovators are dedicated to accelerating the development of new ideas. The Innovator Circle exemplifies a distinguished group of individuals and corporations that provide catalytic gifts to bring lifesaving therapies to patients faster.
Example: Your gift of $10,000 could fund 1 month of access to the KCA Data Federation, a technology platform that analyzes kidney cancer data for patterns and insights that advance patient care.
Inspired by Gretchen E. Vaughan, KCA’s President and CEO, members of The President’s Circle share her powerful vision to transform kidney cancer care as we know it. The President’s Circle members are visionaries who desire to advance science and improve lives through big and bold initiatives.
Example: $100,000 could fund a transformational research grant. A gift at this level could fund a KCA Focus award in a specific area of interest to the kidney cancer community.
When Eugene P. Schonfeld, who was himself an advanced kidney cancer patient, formed the KCA in 1990, a diagnosis meant facing a limited future. Thanks to the tireless work of the KCA and a growing community of researchers and patient advocates over the past 3 decades, patients have a better chance of survival. However, there is still much to be done. While Mr. Schonfeld sadly died of kidney cancer, his legacy remains as strong as ever. Members of our Eugene P. Schonfeld Legacy Society have the foresight to include the KCA as part of their estate plans and join him in leaving a legacy that will touch the lives of countless others.
Example: You can create your own lasting legacy. By including a gift in your will or other estate plans, you could establish a legacy of supporting kidney cancer patients and their loved ones. Please let us know if we’re in your plans so we can honor your intentions when your gift is received.
