IgA Nephropathy Has No Borders. Neither Do We.
Through our Go Global Network, we support patients and families around the world, with established ambassadors in Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the Philippines, and continued growth into new regions. This program extends the IgA Nephropathy Foundation’s mission beyond borders by bringing education, support, and advocacy to communities worldwide through local leadership, strategic partnerships, and culturally relevant resources.
This network continues to grow, powered by individuals who want to make a difference in their local communities. If you are looking for a way to get involved, we would love to hear from you. Together, we are building a connected global network to improve awareness, expand access to care, and ensure that no patient, no matter where they live, faces IgAN alone. Contact marykate@igan.org

Go Global: Expanding Awareness, Advocacy & Access Worldwide
The Go Global initiative is the IgA Nephropathy Foundation’s international effort to support patients, caregivers, and clinicians beyond the United States. Our mission is to amplify global awareness, promote equitable access to care, and provide culturally relevant education and advocacy tools to communities affected by IgA Nephropathy around the world.
Through localized resources, strategic partnerships, boots on the ground ambassadors, and collaboration with medical and patient leaders in various countries, Go Global aims to close the gap in care, accelerate treatment availability, and ensure that no patient—regardless of geography—navigates IgAN alone.
