World Vision Canada

The Kidney Foundation of Canada is the leading charity committed to eliminating the burden of kidney disease through: - Funding and stimulating innovative research for better prevention, treatments and a cure; - Providing education and support to prevent kidney disease in those at risk and empower those with kidney disease to optimize their health status; - Advocating for improved access to high quality health care; - Increasing public awareness and commitment to advancing kidney health and organ donation. The Foundation's national research program has grown to become one of the most important sources of funding for scientists conducting kidney-related research. We are also committed to providing education, information and support about kidneys and kidney disease. In order to fund our important work, we operate a diverse mix of fundraising campaigns. These campaigns can also have other important benefits, such as raising awareness. We are proud of the work done by our volunteers and employees, who work collaboratively to reduce the burden of kidney disease.

The Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (CPFF) is a registered Canadian charity established to provide hope and support for people affected by pulmonary fibrosis (PF). Our charitable registration # is 850554858RR0001. We work closely with patients and caregivers, medical experts, and governments. With the support of dedicated volunteers, staff and our sponsors and donors, we aim to achieve our mission and vision. We’re Breathless for Change A relatively common “rare” disease, pulmonary fibrosis affects about 30,000 people in Canada. This number is growing. There is no cure, although there are treatments to slow the progress of the disease. The prognosis for PF is still grim, with most individuals dying within three to five years following diagnosis. And diagnosis can be difficult, taking up to a year or more. Research is the best prospect for improved treatments and an eventual cure. CPFF offers a community of hope and support to anyone affected by pulmonary fibrosis, so that no one needs to face this disease alone.
