AKF'S EDUCATION PROGRAMS HELP INDIVIDUALS IDENTIFY THEIR RISKS FOR CKD AND MANAGE CKD, KIDNEY FAILURE AND CO-MORBIDITIES. WE REACHED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN 2021 WITH AWARENESS AND PREVENTION INFORMATION ON OUR WEBSITE. A HALLMARK OF THIS WORK WAS OUR SECOND ANNUAL KIDNEY ACTION WEEK, HELD FROM SEPTEMBER 13-17, 2021. THE VIRTUAL EDUCATIONAL EVENT WAS STREAMED THROUGH A DIGITAL CONFERENCE PLATFORM AND SIMULCASTED THROUGH AKF'S FACEBOOK AND YOUTUBE SOCIAL CHANNELS. MORE THAN 2,500 PEOPLE PREREGISTERED FOR THE EVENT, WITH MORE THAN 7,700 VIEWING THE LIVE SESSIONS THROUGH ALL CHANNELS. THE ARCHIVED VIEWS OF THE KIDNEY ACTION WEEK SESSIONS HAVE BEEN VIEWED MORE THAN 14,000 TIMES. PUBLIC EDUCATIONWE CONTINUALLY ENHANCE OUR EDUCATION CONTENT AND OFFERINGS.

WE ALSO PUBLISHED MANY ADDITIONAL PAGES FOR OUR SPANISH-LANGUAGE WEBSITE. WE CONTINUED TO RUN AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS WHICH FOCUS ON MANAGING VARIOUS ASPECTS OF KIDNEY DISEASE AND ITS CO-MORBIDITIES. WE ALSO CONTINUED TO PROVIDE OUR KIDNEY HEALTH COACH PEER-TO-PEER COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM. WE OFFERED FREE, MONTHLY WEBINARS FOR PATIENTS, FAMILIES AND CAREGIVERS. OUR LIVE WEBINARS ARE LED BY KIDNEY DISEASE EXPERTS AS WELL AS PATIENTS AND FEATURE A DISCUSSION ABOUT A DIFFERENT TOPIC EACH MONTH. ALL WEBINARS ARE RECORDED AND POSTED TO AKF'S WEBSITE. 2021 WEBINARS FOCUSED ON A VARIETY OF TOPICS INCLUDING KIDNEY-FRIENDLY COOKING, COVID-19, NEPHROTIC SYNDROME AND DIABETIC KIDNEY DISEASE.FOR CHILDREN, LIVING WITH KIDNEY DISEASE IS EXTREMELY CHALLENGING. WE PROVIDE A NATIONWIDE ART CONTEST FOR PEDIATRIC KIDNEY PATIENTS, GIVING THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR ARTISTIC TALENTS. THIRTEEN DRAWINGS WERE CHOSEN FOR THE CALENDAR, AND WE RECOGNIZED THE WINNING COVER ARTIST AT OUR VIRTUAL GALA, THE HOPE AFFAIR. ENGAGING PATIENTS AND CAREGIVERS AROUND ADVOCACY ISSUES IS ANOTHER IMPORTANT INITIATIVE. WE HELD A VIRTUAL FLY-IN AS WELL AS A CONGRESSIONAL BRIEFING ON HEALTH DISPARITIES. AKF IS A STRONG AND INDEPENDENT VOICE ADVOCATING FOR POLICIES THAT IMPROVE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE AND STRENGTHEN THE QUALITY OF CARE FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH KIDNEY DISEASE. WE WORK WITH CONGRESS, THE ADMINISTRATION, FEDERAL AGENCIES, AND STATE GOVERNMENTS TO ADVANCE LEGISLATION AND REGULATORY POLICIES IMPORTANT TO KIDNEY PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. WE PUBLISHED OUR FIRST ANNUAL "STATE OF THE STATES: LIVING DONOR PROTECTION REPORT CARD," WHICH GRADES EACH STATE FOR THE MEASURES IT HAS IN PLACE TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO BE LIVING KIDNEY DONORS.PROFESSIONAL EDUCATIONAKF DEVELOPS COURSES THAT ARE PROVIDED ONLINE AND MEET THE CONTINUING EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS FOR PROFESSIONALS WHO TREAT KIDNEY PATIENTS. IN 2021, WE REGISTERED MORE THAN 11,000 COURSES COMPLETED BY SOCIAL WORKERS, DIALYSIS TECHNICIANS, DIETITIANS, HEALTH EDUCATORS AND OTHER RENAL CARE PROFESSIONALS. THE GROWTH IN THIS AREA WAS DUE TO THE CREATION OF TWO NEW ACCREDITED COURSES ON PRURITUS AND DEPRESSION AND KIDNEY PATIENTS, AS WELL AS THE LAUNCH OF A NEW NON-ACCREDITED PROFESSIONAL WEBINAR SERIES. 303459 240000 RESEARCH:ESTABLISHED IN 1988, AKF'S CLINICAL SCIENTIST IN NEPHROLOGY PROGRAM HAS PROVIDED RESEARCH FUNDING TO MANY OF NEPHROLOGY'S BRIGHTEST SCHOLARS. MANY FORMER CSN FELLOWS HAVE GONE ON TO DISTINGUISHED CAREERS IN THE FIELD, CONDUCTING GROUNDBREAKING RESEARCH THAT ADVANCES KNOWLEDGE AND TREATMENT OF KIDNEY DISEASE. IN 2021, AKF SELECTED TWO NEW FELLOWS: DR. CHRISTINE LIMONTE FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON AND DR. ELIZABETH KERMGARD FROM CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL LOS ANGELES (CHLA) JOINT NEPHROLOGY PROGRAM. DR. LIMONTE'S RESEARCH IS UTILIZING NOVEL ANALYTICS TECHNIQUES TO DETERMINE IF BLOOD VESSEL DISEASE IN THE BACK OF THE EYE, OR RETINOPATHY, CAN REVEAL INFORMATION ABOUT KIDNEY FUNCTION AND KIDNEY DISEASE. DR. KERMGARD IS STUDYING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GUT MICROBIOME AND CKD, AND HOW THE INTERACTIONS OF BACTERIA IN OUR BODY MAY IMPACT NORMAL BONE GROWTH AND TURNOVERTHE PROCESS OF RESORPTION FOLLOWED BY REPLACEMENT OF NEW BONE WITH LITTLE CHANGE IN SHAPE THAT OCCURS THROUGHOUT A PERSON'S LIFE.AKF TOOK MAJOR STEPS IN ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM OF UNKNOWN CAUSES OF KIDNEY DISEASE (UCKD) BY RELEASING A CONSENSUS ROADMAP IN JULY. THE ROADMAP LAYS OUT STEPS THAT AKF AND OTHERS CAN TAKE TO ADDRESS THE FUNDAMENTAL CHALLENGE THAT MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE DIAGNOSED WITH KIDNEY DISEASE, AND EVEN KIDNEY FAILURE, OFTEN DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT CAUSED IT. THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION MAY WELL LEAD TO BETTER TREATMENT AND OUTCOMES FOR PATIENTS. IN DECEMBER, AKF HELD ITS SECOND UCKD SUMMIT. THE SUMMIT ALLOWED AKF'S PARTNERS IN THIS EFFORT TO MEET TO DISCUSS THE PROGRESS BEING MADE IN FULFILLING THE GOALS OF THE UCKD ROADMAP. 334715296 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 59 0 96 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 X 23 23 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AK AR AZ CA CO CT DC FL GA IN IL KS KY MA MD ME MI MS NC ND NH NJ NM NY OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WI WV X X MIKE NOSIL - CFO & SR DIR OF FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION 3019846660 11921 ROCKVILLE PIKE SUITE 300 ROCKVILLE MD 20852 LAVARNE A BURTON EX-OFFICIO PRESIDENT & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER 50.00 X 933776 0 56686 DONALD ROY JR EVP, AND COO - RET 11/2021 50.00 X 424620 0 45310 JULIE PUZZO CHIEF DEVELOPMENT OFFICER 50.00 X 376799 0 34546 MARSHALL STRISIK VP AND GENERAL COUNSEL 50.00 X 344211 0 47094 HOLLY BODE VP OF GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS 50.00 X 349291 0 36184 TAMARA RUGGIERO VP OF COMMUNICATIONS AND MARKETING 50.00 X 316311 0 41106 MICHAEL SPIGLER VP OF PATIENT SVCS/KIDNEY 50.00 X 301031 0 45355 TARA BUNCH EVP, AND COO - STARTING 10/2021 50.00 X 94135 0 7092 MAUREEN NUGENT FRANCO CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 SILAS P NORMAN MD MPH CHAIR-ELECT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 JERRY D KLEPNER IMMEDIATE PAST CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 JULIE A WRIGHT-NUNES MD MPH CHAIR, MEDICAL AFFAIRS 2.00 X X 0 0 0 JOHN F HANLEY CFA TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 WILLIAM J SCHUYLER SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 FRANCES E ASHE-GOINS RN BSN MPH TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 DONNA M CHRISTENSEN MD MEMBER-AT-LARGE 2.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL W FLOOD TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 MARIA A GRASSO TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 BRIAN KREX ESQ TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 GREGORY P MADISON TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 PAMELA W MCNAMARA TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 ELAINE MILEM TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN B MORIARTY JR ESQ TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN D RING CPA CGMA TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 LISA A ROBIN TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 SEAN P RODDY CPA CMA CGMA MBA TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 SUE ROTTURA TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 ANDREW M SHORE JD TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 MELANIE J TURIEO TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 HEIDI L WAGNER JD TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 LARRY H WARREN TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 ARTHUR H METCALF II CPA ABV CFF TRUSTEE - UNTIL 3/11/21 2.00 X 0 0 0 3140174 0 313373 34 0 1 0 INTERACTIVE STRATEGIES 133 CONNECTICUT AVENUE SUITE WASHINGTON DC 20036 DEVELOPMENT AND MARKETING SERVICES 699981 ROBBINSKERSTEN DIRECT 201 SUMMER STREET HOLLISTON MA 01746 DIRECT MAIL SERVICES 613813 VENDORIN POBOX 1937 HATTIESBURG MS 39403 GRANT PAYMENT PROCESSING 578151 ORASES 5728 INDUSTRY LANE FREDERICK MD 21704 SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT/HOSTING 399770 XXVI HOLDINGS INC 1600 AMPHITHEATRE WAY MOUNTAIN VIEW CA 94043 ADVERTISING 374771 19 205500 899946 348576235 408160 349681681 BROCHURE REVENUE 900099 280 280 280 360758 360758 67497 67497 6662403 627049 6462543 685654 199860 -58605 141255 141255 0 899946 0 0 ADVERTISING IN NEWSLET 541800 53400 53400 53400 350304871 280 53400 569510 318632117 318632117 1561620 791787 769833 8555354 5724207 1372466 1458681 525531 338442 111307 75782 1301564 838368 275555 187641 653418 420801 138394 94223 338702 235669 47655 55378 60855 42343 8562 9950 444094 444094 629695 629695 73070 73070 2228326 1956010 95148 177168 1189192 1148182 1302 39708 3576788 1783287 20076 1773425 1305168 961095 135592 208481 717295 499103 100913 117279 28705 19597 2311 6797 10364 7076 834 2454 675552 470058 95040 110454 151660 105525 21339 24796 MAILING LIST RENTAL 200442 67689 132753 DATA PROCESSING 159853 58710 2751 98392 FAIRS AND EXHIBITS 113931 113931 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 69624 57205 934 11485 343202920 334715296 3273082 5214542 X 2732537 922779 0 1809758 33144173 40026680 1154671 658382 390984 440803 4034947 2787640 1064794 1247307 17068715 18970442 1426724 914242 54250061 62257856 1962125 2482763 83500 1794582 1031124 3840207 3513887 X 47346336 55492363 3063518 3251606 50409854 58743969 54250061 62257856 7101951 1232164 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 52114106 54254318 47044440 49803007 47630148 250846019 52114106 54254318 47044440 49803007 47630148 250846019 131805415 119040604 433710 419132 692024 494865 428255 2467986 23762 66493 25670 115925 253429930 3464 0.46970 0.44080 X SCHEDULE A, PART VI, LIST OF UNUSUAL GRANTS: DESCRIPTION: UNRESTRICTED CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS DATE: 12/31/17 AMOUNT: 120005000.
