You share JDRF’s vision of a world without type 1 diabetes (T1D),
and so you understand that the research necessary to realize this
vision is costly and takes time. Legacy gifts help JDRF ensure that
current groundbreaking research does not slow down and that
we continue to fund a pipeline of promising opportunities that will
produce better outcomes for people with T1D until we can prevent
this deadly disease and deliver a cure. Your generous support of
JDRF is one of the reasons we are the global leader in T1D research.
In the past two decades alone, JDRF has received $100 million from
wills, trusts and other planned gifts to support the fight against T1D.
Making a planned gift provides important tax and financial benefits,
but the real gift you are making is ensuring funding so that together
we can provide hope for a future without T1D.
