THE DIAMOND AWARDS Celebrating Our Heroes

The Not Alone Foundation relies on donations from private foundations, businesses and individuals. Through your generosity, we can help save lives and offer support to families who need us.

Every year, more than 100,000 Americans are diagnosed with kidney failure and more than 400,000 Americans suffer from ESRD, which occurs when the kidneys are no longer able to function at a level needed for day-to-day life. The average cost of a kidney transplant in the U.S. is more than $250,000. The Not Foundation is a nonprofit organization based in Atlanta and dedicated to assistance and educational and medical resources for CKD and ESRD patients and their families. The goals of the organization are twofold:

1. To help adult end-stage renal disease patients become members of the official kidney transplant list.

2. Support the families of children and teens suffering from ESRD.

The Not Alone Foundation was established by Mark Dodd, Morehouse College Alumnus following his own challenges to get on the official kidney transplant list. In addition to providing financial assistance for patients, the foundation also sponsors public education that promotes the prevention of diseases that can lead
to kidney failure.
