Since its inception in 1970, JDRF has been the driving force behind groundbreaking advances in research leading toward better treatments and a cure for type 1 diabetes (T1D). Thanks to the generosity of passionately committed JDRF donors and volunteers like you, JDRF has directed more than $1.6 billion to diabetes research. JDRF’s track record of success – finding and funding the best research in the most effective way possible – has produced scientific breakthroughs that are allowing people with diabetes to live longer and healthier lives than they did just five, ten, or twenty years ago. 

Now, more than ever, JDRF works with a sense of urgency – a determination to accelerate the pace of research and the resulting progress.  Emphasizing research that improves the lives of people with diabetes today and prevents and reverses diabetes tomorrow, we are funding more than 40 human clinical trials all over the world.

100% of all Fund a Cure donations will go directly to the world-class research that JDRF supports. Join us as we make medical history.
