JDRF is the leading global organization funding T1D research. T1D  is an autoimmune disease in which a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin, a hormone that enables people to get energy from food. JDRF's goal is to progressively remove the impact of T1D from people’s lives until we achieve a world without T1D. JDRF collaborates with a wide spectrum of partners and is the only organization with the scientific resources, regulatory influence, and working plan to better treat, prevent, and eventually cure T1D.

As the largest charitable supporter of T1D research, JDRF is currently sponsoring $530 million in scientific research in 17 countries. In 2013 alone, JDRF provided more than $110 million to T1D research. More than 80 percent of JDRF's expenditures directly support research and research-related education. In 2013, Forbes magazine named JDRF one of its five All-Star charities, citing the organization’s efficiency and effectiveness.
