What is JDRF?

JDRF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that funds research and support services for type 1 diabetes patients and caregivers. It has dozens of locations in the United States and five (5) international affiliates: Australia, Canada, Israel, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. JDRF has funded over $2.5 billion in research since its inception.

What is Type 1 Diabetes (T1D)?

Type 1 Diabetes, commonly known as T1D, is an autoimmune disease that affects the body’s ability to get energy from food. The immune system kills insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, but the body needs that insulin to pull energy from the glucose consumed in food. T1D has no definitive cause or cure and can strike children and adults suddenly at any age.

T1D patients are at risk for various medical conditions and problems, including but not limited to amputation, blindness, heart attack and disease, hypo- and hyperglycemic episodes, kidney failure, nerve damage, and stroke. To avoid these complications every day, patients have to infuse or inject insulin, consistently monitor their blood sugar levels, and balance their food and insulin intake.

The sudden onset of the following symptoms could be signs of T1D

  • Dry mouth;
  • Dry or itchy skin;
  • Exhaustion;
  • Frequent urination;
  • Increased appetite or thirst;
  • Malaise;
  • Nausea or vomiting;
  • Unexplained weight loss; and
  • Yeast infections.

How is Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) Different from T1D?

Type 2 Diabetes, or T2D, is different in a few ways. The body can still produce insulin, but it cannot use it properly. T2D can often be managed with diet and exercise but can require medication and insulin therapy.

Other Financial Donations

Where Does the Money Go?

JDRF spends its donations on promoting new research and therapies to treat T1D and maintaining a support network for the T1D community.

Advocates in Action Council



The Advocates in Action council influences policy decisions to benefit T1D patients and secures Federal funding for T1D research. It has committed $2.8 billion to T1D issues, held over 430 meetings with members of congress, and boasts 250,000 advocates across the United States. 

The council’s advocacy efforts include amplifying the personal stories of those living with T1D, calling and writing members of congress, and meeting with lawmakers and their staff members. Its agenda includes all of the following topics:

Children’s Congress



The Children’s congress engages in leadership development and character building for children with T1D. They meet with Federal lawmakers to advocate for research and policies that promote affordability, choice, and coverage for T1D patients.

Coverage2Control



JDRF calls on drug companies, employers, government agencies, and insurers to provide insulin affordability, treatment choice, and comprehensive insurance coverage for T1D patients. The Coverage2Control initiative played a significant role in these updates:

  • All 25 of the nation’s largest health plans cover artificial pancreas systems;
  • Aetna and Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina are passing drug discounts to members;
  • United Healthcare expanded its drug discount program. As of 2020, all new employer plans have to pass drug discounts to members who need them; and
  • United Healthcare revised a restrictive policy regarding insulin pumps after receiving thousands of letters from the JDRF community.

Game2Give



The Game2Give initiative hosts video game streaming fundraisers and receives proceeds from donated video game sales. It has raised over $2 million since November 2019.

Research



JDRF understands that to find a cure for T1D, researchers need to restore or replace insulin production and turn off the autoimmune attack responsible for destroying the beta cells responsible for creating insulin. JDRF research grants address all of the following areas:

TypeOneNation Virtual Summit



The TypeOneNation virtual summit is a free, year-long program providing monthly educational sessions about living with and caring for someone with T1D.
