IgA Nephropathy Awareness Day

21 Years of Hope. 1 Goal: A Cure. Join Us for IgAN Aware Day

May 2025 marks 21 years since Ed and Bonnie Schneider founded the IgA Nephropathy (IgAN) Foundation after their son’s diagnosis, creating a support and education hub for people living with IgAN. On May 14th, we celebrate IgAN Aware Day—a special milestone marking 21 years of dedication to the IgA Nephropathy community. Since our founding, we’ve worked tirelessly to provide resources, support, and groundbreaking research with one goal in mind: a cure for IgAN.

We are grateful to everyone who has been a part of this incredible journey and helped us advance toward better treatments and support. Join us on the 4th annual IgAN Awareness Day & 21st Anniversary Spirit Week to mark progress, grow our IgAN Family, raise awareness, and share your #IgANjourney!
