At The Type 1 Foundation, your donation goes directly to supporting type 1 families - like yours!
Some ways your donation works hard:
Creating Community Connections
The Type 1 Foundation connects individuals and families living with type 1 diabetes through in-person large-scale family events, Type1 mums and parents dinners, Kids Katch-Ups, Retreats, and more. Providing a sense of community, shared experiences, and support, your donation helps us host these events to help those with Type 1 never feel alone.
Providing Essential Support Services
Your donation helps us offer practical and emotional support to those living with T1D and their families. Including in-person and online events, educational sessions, helpful resources, connecting you with mental health support, and support navigating the highs and lows of type 1 diabetes management.
Raising Awareness
We work tirelessly to raise awareness about type 1 diabetes, and the 4 symptoms of DKA (Diabetic Ketoacidosis). Our goal is to promote a better understanding of Type 1 Diabetes in the community and prevent misdiagnosis/DKA at diagnosis. Your contribution helps us continue our outreach efforts, ensuring that more people know what T1D is, how to support those living with it, and the importance of early detection.
Advocating for Better Care
Your generosity helps us advocate for policies that improve access to Insulin Pumps, CGMs and other diabetes technology, as well as emotional and mental health support. We work to ensure that parents of kids with Type 1, and those living with T1D have the resources, support, and devices they need to lead full and healthy lives
Access to insulin should never depend on where someone lives — but for millions around the world, it does. As you know, this is a matter of life and death.
Every day, people with Type 1 diabetes are forced to ration insulin or go without essential supplies simply because it is too expensive, or they don’t have access.
Insulin for Life is a nonprofit dedicated to changing that. They collect unused, in-date insulin and other diabetes supplies and distribute them to individuals in need across the globe — especially in areas affected by poverty, natural disasters, conflict, or broken health systems.
Since launching, they’ve delivered life-saving supplies to over 70 countries, helping people manage Type 1 Diabetes when other systems fall short.
