Financial Assistance

The Kidney TRUST is piloting a Financial Assistance Program (FAP) for people on dialysis who are having trouble managing co-pays, co-insurance and deductibles for medical treatment, services, and prescription drugs that are covered under their private health insurance plan. Grants will be available of up to $2,000 to help with eligible expenses incurred during the grant period, which will cover a six (6) or twelve (12) month period.  The FAP pilot for Summer/Fall 2009 is being conducted in the states of California, Colorado, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Texas & Virginia.

The Winter 08-09 and Spring 2009 round of grants have been awarded.  Although we are not currently accepting applications, we expect to announce a new round of funding around the end of August 2009.  Details will be posted on this page of our website and on our FAP voicemail at ; please check back at that time.

What is The Kidney TRUST?

The Kidney TRUST is an independent non-profit organization that believes everyone should be empowered to take a proactive role in their health.  Toward that end, the TRUST is seeking to reduce the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) through free, rapid screening in non-medical settings and to provide financial assistance to people affected by CKD.
