Please Support IPNA’s Mission This International Giving Day

Dear Fellow IPNA Members and Friends,

As we reach the close of 2025—and come together in recognition of International Giving Day—IPNA wants to extend our profound gratitude for your resilience, compassion, and unwavering commitment to IPNA’s mission. This year has continued to bring global challenges, from geopolitical instability to budget reductions that directly impact vulnerable programs worldwide. Yet through it all, your dedication has strengthened our ability to support children living with kidney disease and the professionals who care for them.

Thanks to your generosity and partnership, 2025 has been a year marked by meaningful progress and milestone achievements:

• A landmark  IPNA Congress in Cape Town, our first ever hosted on the African continent—uniting pediatric nephrologists from across the world and elevating regional voices in kidney health.
• The launch of the new IPNA Pediatric Nephrology Curriculum, designed to harmonize global training standards and foster collaboration among regional educators and networks.
• The continued expansion of the 50 for 50 Campaign, created in honor of IPNA’s 50th anniversary to build a sustainable foundation for long-term programs and new initiatives. We invite you to learn more and join this important effort; every contribution strengthens IPNA’s financial security and future impact.

On International Giving Day, we hope you will consider renewing your support. We invite you to visit our IPNA Give Now page to explore ways you can help us provide optimal care for children with kidney disease. Your contributions help sustain essential programs—Fellowships, Teaching Courses, Sister Renal Centers, legacy gifts, and more—ensuring that children everywhere have access to the highest standards of care.

As we look ahead to a new year, let us continue to advance knowledge, expand education, and advocate tirelessly for children’s kidney health across the globe. Your partnership remains vital to our shared mission.

Thank you for your extraordinary generosity and for standing with us at this special time of global giving and reflection.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Rukshana Shroff, MD, PhD & John D Mahan, MD
