Ways to Give
Every Dollar Stays Local. Every Gift Saves Lives.
When you give to the Kidney Foundation of Greater Chattanooga, you're not supporting a distant cause – you're helping your neighbors, your coworkers, and your community members facing kidney disease. Because we're completely independent and local, 100% of your donation stays right here in Chattanooga to provide immediate, tangible help.
Three Ways to Give. Maximum Impact.
Choose the giving option that works best for your lifestyle and commitment level:
One-Time Gift
Perfect for immediate impact or memorial/tribute giving. Your one-time gift provides immediate assistance to kidney patients who need help today with transportation, utilities, medical equipment, or emergency needs.
Impact Example: $50 provides transportation to life-saving dialysis treatments for one month.
Monthly Giving
Join our "Steady Support" program with automatic monthly gifts. Monthly giving provides predictable funding that allows us to commit to ongoing patient assistance without worrying about fundraising fluctuations.
Impact Example: $25/month provides a blood pressure monitor.
Roundup Giving
Set your monthly limit ($10, $25, $50, or $100) and we'll automatically collect small amounts based on your credit card purchases, rounding up to the nearest dollar until you reach your monthly limit.
How it works: If your monthly limit is $25 and your coffee costs $4.50, we'll collect the extra $0.50. This continues until you've given $25 for the month, then resets the next month.
