What We Do

We provide independent analysis and research of the charitable organizations, type 1 diabetes research landscape and obstacles that stand in the way of achieving a type 1 diabetes cure.  We take a business-like approach in our assessment of the prospects for developing a Practical Cure to help inform donors so that they can make their contributions more effective towards funding this goal.

We are building an Alliance of donors in order to create a unified voice to ensure that the intentions of diabetes donors are heard.  As donors and people who want a type 1 diabetes cure, we need to step up and require it.  Change and progress will not happen unless donors take the first step in holding the foundations accountable for their allocations to research projects.  We need to come together to concentrate resources and efforts toward projects that can develop a Practical Cure in a time frame relevant for people now living with type 1 diabetes.

To empower and educate donors, we provide:

• Donor Action Letter
• Research Reports
• JDCA2025 Blog

As membership in the Alliance grows, the JDCA will continue to expand the resources it offers to donors.
