Support the Future of Nephrology

The Dale Singer Leadership and Education Foundation (RPA Singer Foundation) is dedicated to strengthening and growing the
nephrology workforce, increasing awareness of kidney disease and related disorders, and engaging in opportunities
that positively impact issues of health equity, access, and policy.    

Named posthumously in memory of RPA long-term Executive Director Dale Singer for her dedication and commitment to sustaining
the future of nephrology, the RPA Singer Foundation achieves its mission through leadership development, mentorship, educational support for renal fellows,
and nephrology practitioners, particularly those early in their careers.  
 

In addition, the Foundation seeks to partner and collaborate with stakeholders to promote the development of educational materials
and programs for patients with kidney disease, and to those healthcare professionals treating them.
