The Ruth Gottscho Kidney Foundation, founded in 1960, is a non-profit organization based in Teaneck, NJ. Their mission is to make the dream of summer camp a reality for children with kidney disorders, continuing the legacy of Ruth Gottscho who passed away from kidney disease at the age of 15. As of January 1, 2020, the foundation has become affiliated with the Community Foundation of New Jersey, allowing them to sustain their work and benefit from philanthropic expertise and administrative support.
The foundation initially focused on providing home dialysis machines to families in need and later shifted their focus to helping children with kidney disorders attend summer camp. Donations to the Ruth Gottscho Kidney Foundation go directly towards supporting kidney campers, ensuring that they can experience the joys of sleep-away summer camp. With over 45 years of subsidizing this program, the foundation continues to make a significant impact in the lives of children with kidney disorders.
