Problems keep growing, & it’s getting harder to get solid data on them, much less ways to address them. Govt oversight is weak, corporate power is pervasive, & public faith in institutions is at rock bottom. That’s where Searchlight comes in. Launching soon, here: www.searchlightfoundation.org

2/ People die daily waiting for a kidney transplant. There has been virtually no major tech evolution in dialysis in decades.

All this needs to change. That's why kidney disease and dialysis are 1 of the projects we're tackling at Searchlight. Visit us soon, here: www.searchlightfoundation.org

1/ 37m Americans CKD, only 10% know they have a problem. Mortality of kidney failure patients is higher than with most kinds of cancer. The federal government invests relatively little in preventing or addressing kidney disease, and shockingly lots in dialysis care.

Excited to announce the launch of the Searchlight Investigative Journalism Foundation, a tax-exempt public charity that shines a light on a handful of America's root problems. We're independent, politically non-partisan, and non-profit.
