Kidney Cancer Association

This profile is for the Kidney Cancer Association (KCA), a U.S. 501(c)(3) organization whose EIN (36-3719712) is confirmed by the charity’s public filings and nonprofit registries. The KCA was founded in 1990 and describes its vision as being "the universal leader in finding the cure for kidney cancer."

The organization operates as a patient- and research-focused charity that funds investigator-initiated kidney cancer research, organizes professional research symposia (IKCS), and provides a range of patient and caregiver services (patient navigator program, patient assistance fund, education events and virtual patient symposia).

In recent years the KCA has continued active grant-making and program delivery: it awarded multiple research grants in 2024, maintains recurring international and North American kidney cancer symposia, and offers ongoing patient education, support, and advocacy services.
